Angela & Zen: Misfits (Series)

***Angela & Zen: Misfits*** is an original digital comic series created by J.C. Morata. It started on June 10, 2016, with comics and related illustrations published to DeviantArt. This series follows the titular characters living together as roommates as they exchange their thoughts about societal trends. The series has various slogans, including a recent slogan, "Thinking for yourself? These two can."

## Background

During the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, J.C. Morata wanted to make a digital comic series where the characters can discuss societal issues. Angela has a creative side while Zen is the logical side. Morata also imagined the series taking place in O'ahu, his home residence. The overall theme of the series is to question everything.

## Premise

In a politically correct Hawaii, Angela and Zen live together as roommates while exchanging their lamest thoughts about mainstream topics that can cause division. If you possess certain beliefs, these people may not be the best friends you'd want in your life.
