Wendy, Master of Art

Walter Scott’s Wendy, Master of Art (Drawn & Quarterly, 2020–present) is a sharp, satirical comic series following the misadventures of a self-absorbed art-school MFA candidate. Scott’s deadpan, expressive cartooning and pitch-perfect dialogue skewer the pretensions of the contemporary art world, academia, and millennial ennui. With only one issue so far, the series has already established itself as a incisive, funny, and uncomfortably relatable critique of creative ambition.
