Meet Olive, a regular gal on a quest for love in the modern dating world. She's navigating a sea of weirdos, wondering why there are so many oddballs out there. Join Olive on her hilarious journey as she embarks on dates that range from bad to worse to absolutely disastrous.

Disaster Dates and Lucky Escapes, the follow-up to Olive's viral dating comics series on Instagram, is a compilation of outrageous dating comics illustrated in artist Tess Smith-Roberts's vibrant and playful signature style.
