Elan Meets Rafa is a weekly webcomic that ran for 7 years (2011-2018), created, written and illustrated by the artists known as The Mice. The Mice Art is a Latina illustrator working in digital and traditional media.

Synopsis: To free himself from his wealthy father’s demands Elan leaves everything behind to start a new life. He quickly finds that he is ill-prepared for the real world. He meets Rafa–a strong and resilient boy from a poor family, who provides protection for him. With Rafa and many new friends, Elan starts to find a place for himself in the dangerous urban neighborhood they live in. Then things turn horribly wrong and love is tested against deception, crushing guilt, and the demands of two different worlds.
