Page one of the comic the (tiny) friend by Jessi Eoin. The color palette is bright and colorful. The main character is a tiny, fluffy, old, purple fairy whose body looks like a ball of fluff with chubby arms and legs, wrinkles on her face, and pink cheeks. She has a puffy braid that floats behind her, and she floats around in the air. Panel 1: The fairy peeks out from behind a tree, noticing a dandelion ready to bloom in the distance. Panel 2: She flies over to the bud, a speech bubble with a heart coming from her. The bud is green with yellow tips and white fluff at the top. She looks happy to see it. Panel 3: She then notices how many buds there are, without a single flower. A speech bubble reads, "..." to indicate hesitance, and sweat drops appear on her head. Panel 4: She uses her magic to make a dandelion bloom, straining as she does so. Panel 5: She floats from bud to bud, using her magic to flower multiple buds, growing more and more tired from the effort as she does so. The sun in the background slowly sets.

Cosplay by Jessi Eoin: a colorful comic using shades of blue, purple, and pink with pops of yellow throughout. The top two panels start as blue, morph into purple during the magical transformation, and turn to pink in the final panel. Panel 1: Jessi looks left with a neutral facial expression as someone off panel says, "Oh, hey, Jessi, do you cosplay?" Jessi replies, "Hey!" Panel 2: Jessi facing a trio of people who are drawn extremely simply with very few features to them beyond basic shapes, ears, mouth, and eyes. Jessi says, "Oh yeah, all the time!" One of the people says, "Really? Who do you go as?" with a smile. The right hand side of the panel begins to turn into a purple background and shimmer with yellow, purple, and blue stars as it leads into the next panel. Panel 3: The panel shows Jessi in the middle, looking even rounder than normal, transforming a lá mahou shoujo style. There are four circular focus panels surrounding them. They're drawn in shades of pink with accents of blue, wearing a flowing dress with frills and ribbons, gloves, and puff ball-topped shoes. Streaks of light purple and yellow swirl with stars behind them, giving it a magical effect. Jessi says, "Despite all the odds, I dedicate my life daily to the art of cosplay with--" The first circular panel shows Jessi's hand holding a star-capped wand with text underneath that reads, "Magic!" The second one shows Jessi's hand now wearing a glove with text underneath that reads, "Determination!" The third shows a waving skirt with a ribbon with text underneath that reads, "Love!" The final one shows a close up of Jessi's face with makeup on with text underneath that reads, "Imagination!" Underneath these circular panels and Jessi are the trio of people looking up with awe with one saying, "Oh! Who could it be?" and another saying, "Wow! So cool!" Jessi ends the panel saying, "Through these powers combined, I become--!" Panel 4: Jessi is eating a slice of pizza, looking completely normal as the trio of people look at them with mixed emotions ranging from annoyance to unimpressed. The final text reads, "A lactose tolerant human."

The title "New Garden by Jessi Eoin" is overlaid on a scene showing a fat person (Jessi) with very short hair walking over a grassy hill of flowers, walking toward and waving hi to a group of people in the distance relaxing and hanging out near a group of trees on a blanket. The people wave back. Text boxes that indicate a narration voice reads, "The year I became severely disabled, my whole world changed in every way... almost overnight. I'd always been disabled, but..." The scene progresses to show the friends and Jessi up close, goofing off and smiling, a friend leaning on Jessi's shoulder with a speech bubble above the friend showing Z's for sleep as Jessi looks at the friend and says, "heh." Another friend is behind them both, smiling mischievously while raising their arms up as if to surprise the people. Suddenly, Jessi looks alarmed, and then they grab themselves in a hug, saying "Owwww! FUCK! Owww!" as another person says, "You ok?" and as their friend's head suddenly drops off Jessi's shoulder from the sudden movement. The final narration box on the page is against a black background and reads, "...this was much different."
