Synopsis

The story of a man driven to the edge ― and
beyond ― by the world around him. But if
he’s the good guy, then who is the bad guy?
Bruce Barnes is a schoolteacher having yet another
shit day. His students are a disrespectful nightmare,
gleefully relishing the misery they put him through.
But today is even worse than usual, and after a particularly
grim run-in with a student, he heads to the
break room to bum a smoke off another member of
the faculty. After lighting up, he’s told the cigarette is
laced with amphetamines. From there, Bruce rides his
“rage snake” from the classroom to the ends of the
cosmos and back ― fighting, fucking, shooting, racing,
and tripping his way from one impulsive move to
the next. Reminiscent of films like Falling Down and
shows like Breaking Bad, What We Mean By Yesterday
is a black comedy descent into madness, a revenge horror/
fantasy that gives new meaning to the phrase “bad trip.”
What We Mean By Yesterday began as a daily comic
strip, one page per day, posted on Marra’s Instagram
(@benjamin_marra). Originally begun as an experiment in
drawing faster and looser, it quickly became one of the
more popular pandemic era webcomics, followed by over
20,000 readers daily.
