"Mysterious Phimosis by Hien Pham" Hien Pham draws in a lushly rendered style that alternates between realistic illustrations and simplified cartoons in textured pencil lines. He uses the full spectrum but with a noir-twist for this comic. He is a Southeast Asian cisgender heavyset man with a short, bushy, black beard, fuzzy body hair, and glasses. He is dressed as a noir detective in this comic. Hien is a detective at a desk shrouded in shadow as a client comes to him. Narration: Hot air billowed through the doorway when he walked in. I could have mistake the confines of this office with the steamy sauna walls on my day off. I could use a day off. Narration: You can see it in his eyes, nerves disguised as confidence. The kind of confidence that stops a bear dead in its tracks. The imagery is split between two panels, one half being Hien the detective's face, and the other half is the client. The client is a dark skinned man with a thick built, a bushy beard and wavy short dark hair. He has a very pleasant smile and demeanour. Narration: Perhaps out of admiration. Perhaps out of fear. Or, for a Bear like me, perhaps out of lust. A close-up of the client undoing his pants and we see his hairy stomach and a bit of his underwear. Narration: Soon enough, he sheds his layers, and the days case unfurls before me. From behind Hien the detective, we see the client in the doorway in shadow and the title of the comic in a cursive text "The Mystery of Phimosis"
