In Desmond Reed’s Memories, we learn the backstory of Wallace T.J., and the Cola Pop Creemees goofball party boy is far more dramatic than you’d expect. Through three interweaving stories from Wallace T.J.’s childhood, teen years and early adulthood, we’re faced with stories of loss, addiction, and conflict.

Desmond’s visual storytelling is a complex cocktail of emotions, repeating design elements, and three-dimensional characters. A powerful departure from the other normally zany Cola Pop Creemees comics.
