Carolina Maggio created 'CHIC & FOX' to illustrate the mundane excitements of an happy love life.
"Neither myself nor my husband can remember exactly when our alter egos came to life. One day they were simply there, and from that moment onwards our marriage, our lives, changed forever.
We believe that they came to help us cope with our big fat egos, to make the hardships and challenges of the human experience a lot easier to deal with. After all, Fox will always want to eat the little chic alive, with all the dilemmas that come from loving the person you sometimes, just sometimes, want to kill. And Chic, being a chick, will try her best to turn the wild animal into a boy, plucking his ear hair and cutting his claws, but ultimately loving him for who ,and what, he is.
Marriage can be a very strange thing. It can be mysterious, like the back of your someday- might-be-useful drawer. It can be as deep as the sleep of those who sleep embracing their loved one and it can be ridiculously fun, like the prance of an hysterical kitten.
But above all, marriage can be the most magical and transformative experience, something that turns you into a princess, a queen, a goddess, or even a chick.
A pretty snazzy chick. A Chic, in fact.
So, there was Chic. And there was Fox. And it was good.
They were in love, and these drawings will tell you a little of their everyday, super exciting adventures."

The last time we spent a night apart.
He/She likes to win.
Don’t try to change him.
Sometimes it’s OK to try to change him.
Becoming healthy together…
Never again needing an alarm clock.
Everyday life can be filled with sorrow.
Standing naked by the window, watching drunk people pass by.
Sometimes you just want to be normal together.
