This is a story about Ted and Sarah. Ted- isolated and paranoid- works for a mega-corporation owned by the world’s only trillionaire. He suffers from night terrors- obsessively draws the same mysterious figures again and again- all while listening to one track of music on repeat–oh- and the only “person” he ever talks to is a stray cat. His humanity is hanging by a thread. Sarah is a new arrival to the city- fighting her own demons- and her job is to remotely spy on Ted to ensure he doesn’t hurt anyone…or himself. When Ted’s mental state begins to crack- Sarah compassionately intervenes to help- and things go catastrophically wrong. IS TED OK? mashes up the paranoid existentialism of SEVERANCE with the cosmic sci-fi of AKIRA while exploring what happens when the act of help goes horribly wrong. From creator Dave Chisholm (SPECTRUM- MILES DAVIS & THE SEARCH FOR THE SOUND)- Is Ted OK? is a spectacularly unpredictable yarn–each successive issue shatters the scope of the previous- all without losing its core: a search for human connection in an oppressive- paranoid world.
