Episode twelve of BEYOND THE SYNOPSIS features writer/illustrator Ariela Kristantina and editor Will Dennis of the ComiXology Originals graphic novel THE GIRL WHO DRAWS ON WHALES , which released September 23rd, 2025. THE GIRL WHO DRAWS ON WHALES OGN Written by Ariela Kristantina Illustrated by Ariela Kristantina Colors by Sarah Stern Letters by Bernardo Brice Edited by Will Dennis The Girl Who Draws on Whales is a testimony to the power of stories—their uncanny ability to entertain, educate and, ultimately, unite us. The Girl Who Draws on Whales is set in a fantasy world, several centuries after “The Great Flood.” Sister Wangi and younger brother Banyu live in a sea-village. Wangi has a special bond with the Great Whales that visit their sea-village and they allow Wangi to draw on their backs. Sometimes they return with new drawings on them. Wangi believes that there are other sea-villages or island settlements scattered around and that they are sending her messages but, none of the elders listen to her.
