Special Moments

Holidays, dinners and small daily rituals, drawn for the families behind the characters.

Bene's characters also have families. This series follows them through the dates that bring people together.

Father's Day, Son's Day, Christmas, Easter and a short comic about gratitude: every piece stands on its own, and the characters stay recognisable from one scene to the next.

Several pieces were made to be shared online, like the family dinner below, posted as a social media image.
