Brother Sebastian at Large

Chon Day's single-issue Brother Sebastian at Large (1963, Pocket Books) collects the gag cartoons of a well-meaning but hapless monk, whose attempts at quiet piety inevitably lead to comic mishaps. Day, both writer and artist, brings a gentle, observational humor to the monastery, blending the sacred with the absurd in a style that defined the character's appeal. This collection stands as a charming, self-contained snapshot of mid-century cartooning, preserving the warmth and wit of a beloved newspaper staple.
