''[[http://www.aiacrowd.com/ Alone in a Crowd]]'' is a webcomic by Thomas D. Szewc. It revolves around the lives of, among others, Faith, her friend (now adopted sister) Hope and their older sister Sara. The comic as a whole is fairly cheerful and innocent (if not a bit silly), though it will sometimes dip into more serious plots like Aunt Desirae's career in the porn industry and Hope's less than stellar family life (or lack thereof).

As of March 2013, [[http://aiacrowd.com/archives/948 the webcomic is on an indefinite hiatus,]] and as of June 2014, the author started working on a [[http://www.chelseaandmillie.com/ new comic]] that concluded on March 2015.

Also, as of 2017, the site does not seem to display ads anymore, the comic still shows up just fine, but we don't know for how much longer it will remain avaliable. which is why we at Tv Tropes are currently saving the comic in file and we'll add a link to it on this page.
