Below Ambition

A biting, absurdist satire from Fantagraphics, Below Ambition (2022–present) skewers the pretensions of the art world through the eyes of a deeply unambitious protagonist. Penned by Simon Hanselmann, the single-issue debut introduces a slacker who stumbles into an art gallery job, only to find the industry's cynical machinery grinding against his own inertia. It's a sharp, funny, and quietly devastating look at creative compromise from a creator known for his unflinching character studies.
