Norman Pettingill: Backwoods Humorist

Norman Pettingill: Backwoods Humorist collects the singular, self-published comic strips of its creator, Norman Pettingill, for Fantagraphics. Running from 2010 to the present, this single-issue volume showcases Pettingill’s distinctive, offbeat humor and raw, folk-art style, drawn entirely by the artist himself. It’s a key document of an outsider cartoonist whose work captures a uniquely American, rural voice often overlooked by mainstream comics.
