Octopus Pie is a webcomic written and drawn by Meredith Gran,[3][4] and coloured by Valerie Halla and Sloane Leong.
[8] The comic largely follows a character-based narrative, mixing drama and light humor that sometimes borders on the surreal.
As character arcs progress, the story becomes more focused on themes of growth and aging, exploring the anxieties of quarter-life crises.
Grumpy, cynical, and introverted, Eve has a menial job at Olly's Organix, an organic grocer, and has no clear idea about what she wants to do with her future.
Early chapters of the strip focused on Eve's initially rocky relationship with her roommate Hanna, but the two have since become very close friends, despite their contrasting personalities and lifestyles.
His relationship with Hanna is stable and happy, and Marek's accommodating nature is often instrumental in keeping the peace between the two.
It's been hinted that Marek one day wants to raise a family, which may foreshadow darker times for the couple, as Hanna is adamant in her desire to never have children.
Will is charismatic and thoughtful, but his short temper and impulsive nature sometimes lead him to make poor decisions.
During Marigold's relationship with Will, she was in awe of the perceived glamor and excitement of Will's life as a drug dealer until she accompanied him for a day on the job and learned that it was actually fairly mundane.
Although disillusioned with her job, Marigold eventually decided to accept a lucrative promotion at Bed and Bath 3000 and moved into an upscale Manhattan apartment using her new salary.
