Alexandre Piçarra - Dias-A-Fio

Dias-a-fio by Alexandre Piçarra is the winning work of the 2024 contest Toma lá 500 paus e faz uma BD! (Here’s 500 bucks, go make a comic!).

Or if you prefer, Dias-a-fio is a chain of episodes in which various characters are exposed to situations that fragment their emotional dimension. The setting is Lisbon between the 1990s and 2010, and the events are shadows of real-lived realities, representing cracks in the structure of the Portuguese social system, which allows judgment, cruelty, guilt, punishment, and humiliation to emerge as collateral damage. Here is a gallery of kids, lowlifes, preppies, punks, cops, and lots of tobacco.
