    Me and My Shadow is Now Available for Free Forever via Library and Archives Canada

    Posted on May 25, 2026May 25, 2026

    Me and My Shadow is a comic work I created during the pandemic under my pen name, Jan Andreas. It follows Jay, an isolated man in the early days of the 2020 lockdown, who begins noticing his only constant companion: his shadow. I published 50 print copies and distributed them free to the first 50 people who asked. Last year, I published it as an e-book through Snail Books, where it is still available for purchase. I also made an open-access legal deposit with Library and Archives Canada. The work is now available to view online for free, forever. Enjoy.
