![Colourful three panel comic. In the first panel, a smiling person is asking Bex 'Hey! How was work?'. In the second panel, Bex is smiling with her mouth wide open and her thumb up, and replies 'Work was good!'. In the third panel, Bex looks wide-eyed and nervous, with gritted teeth. Text above her reads 'Proceeds to not talk about the awful thing that happened outside of work'.](https://images.prismic.io/wellcomecollection/921fc8f7-83c8-46bd-9758-5addc016cfaa_A+Little+Too+Literal.png?w=1338&auto=compress%2Cformat&rect=&q=100)

About the artist
Bex Ollerton
Bex Ollerton is a full-time comic artist from Lancashire. She is known for her introspective comics about mental health, neurodivergence and the general struggles of being a human being in an overwhelming world. As a physically disabled autistic artist with ADHD, she cares greatly about raising awareness through graphic medicine, and her goal is to use comics to discuss things that can be hard to talk about. When she’s not drawing or making comics, she enjoys playing piano and definitely remembering to take care of her far too many house plants. You can find her work online under the handle Schnumn.
