When Tyler Feder was 19, her mom died of cancer, an experience she captured years later in her bestselling graphic memoir Dancing at the Pity Party.

But this past winter, Tyler’s dad also died, adding a new aspect to her identity, this time as an adult orphan. Follow Tyler’s work on Instagram @tylerfeder.
