Mary and Nel were known for being close. Throughout the years the two of them zig-zagged the country as the rock duo "The Chairs" they never spent more than a day or two apart.
That is until Mary mysteriously appears in a new city having given up her music, fame, and friends. She wants nothing more than to work her lousy job and be left alone, but the two people who just showed up on her doorstep are determined to make sure that won't happen.

Exclusive Backup Story
To say thank you to the kind folks who decide to buy any of the versions below, I drew a four page backup story to The Chairs' Hiatus that's not avaliable anywhere else! It's not vital to the overall story, so you're not missing anything that you absolutely need to enjoy the comic, but I'm really happy with the way it turned out and, if you like The Chairs' Hiatus, I think you'll like it too. Thanks everybody! You're all too kind to me.

"Matthew Bogart’s The Chairs’ Hiatus is uncluttered in its story, quiet in its telling, and lovely in the time it spends with you. It illustrates its human moments by enveloping us in the larger spaces we are surrounded by. I felt like I was using a telescope to read a comic–taking gentle steps forward into something big and small at the same time."
"The Chairs Hiatus is a kind of comic I'd like to see more often -- a small, human story about how people hurt each other without meaning to. Matthew Bogart's intelligent, graceful cartooning is a pleasure to read."
