Ditch Life

In Ditch Life, Amy Lockhart’s deadpan, pastel-hued comic for Fantagraphics (2019–present) follows a cast of listless suburban oddballs navigating the quiet absurdities of modern existence. Lockhart’s minimalist, almost architectural linework and off-kilter humor define this single-issue series, which captures the weird, hollow charm of hanging out in a nowhere town. It’s a sharp, understated slice-of-life from an indie cartoonist known for her distinctive visual voice.
