Career Shoplifter

In Career Shoplifter (2022–present, Uncivilized Books), a single-issue comic released so far, creator and cartoonist Michael Sweater explores the mundane yet surreal existence of a professional thief navigating the retail landscape. The series offers a deadpan, slice-of-life take on petty crime, blending humor and social commentary through its protagonist's methodical routines. Known for its minimalist art and offbeat tone, this debut marks the beginning of a promising indie series from the small press publisher.
