Welcome!

"Fig once dreamt of becoming a chef abroad. Problem is, she hasn't been able to taste anything since her mom died. She's resigned to running the old cafe in her childhood home, but with the help of its patrons, her dream may have life yet..."

Hello and welcome to The Crosswind Cafe, an online + newsletter webcomic by Irma Kniivila.

What is a newsletter webcomic? You can subscribe to get new pages in your e-mail inbox every Sunday, or you can pop onto this site to view updates.

Why a newsletter webcomic? I don't love how platformed the internet has become, and I'd like to have ownership over my own work. But I'm also lazy, and I thought about how I'd like to read a comic. Pages show up in my inbox weekly with no work on my end? Perfect!

If you'd like to support The Crosswind Cafe, you can upgrade to a paid subscription or send a one-time tip, but the comic is free to read. I'm making this as an independent author - if you like it please recommend to someone who might enjoy!
