In 2020 Walter, a flamboyant, brilliant and somewhat self-absorbed man, learns that he has ALS and decides straight away that he will die by his own hand; what remains is working out the method. His daughter, a cartoonist, commits to being there daily for the year that follows. Drawn in vivid images, this bleakly funny graphic novel looks at dying and living, love and difficult family ties, at relatives' anger with a helpless healthcare system, and at the right to decide one's own end.
