kimmie66 by Aaron Alexovich (writer and illustrator)

kimmie66 is the virtual best friend of Telly Kade, an ordiary girl living in the 23rd century where people spend much of their lives and meanigful life experiences within the 'lairs', virtual experience worlds which are rigidly segmented from each other and based on lifestyle choices such as sci-fi futuristic / goth loner / moog warlord style / elves and dragons etc etc. When kimmie66 sends a message to Telly that she has committed suicide but her avatar continues to appear in the lairs Telly goes in search of the reality behind the vr of her world. Great art and ideas although a little thin on depth.
