When Malaysian doodle artist Sofia Shamsunahar, better known as SofsDoodles, took a break to travel after graduating from university in 2019, little did she know then that her comic book dream would come true.

While on her trip around Malaysia, the political science and human geography graduate documented her experiences through comics as a way to reflect on them, as well as share them with her friends and loved ones.
