One of Nerdist's Best Comics of 2020! Heart of the City is a delightful strip that showcases the lighthearted exuberance of childhood. The characters inhabit a world that will be familiar to readers, but they often go beyond this world and into the imagination of Heart and her friend Dean. At the heart (sorry) of the strip are the strong relationships between Heart and her friends, and Heart and her mother. This is a strip for everyone who has ever been a child.
