Patty Cake & Friends

From 2000 to 2005, Scott Roberts wrote and drew this 15-issue Slave Labor series, a slice-of-life comedy centered on the misadventures of a young woman and her oddball circle of friends. Roberts' warm, slightly off-kilter art and dialogue gave the book a gentle, character-driven charm that distinguished it from the edgier alternative comics of the era. A cult favorite for readers who appreciate low-key humor and relatable, quirky characters, Patty Cake & Friends remains a fondly remembered gem from the early 2000s indie comics scene.
