Cork High and Bottle Deep

In a single 2014 issue from Fantagraphics, Cork High and Bottle Deep collects vintage single-panel cartoons by the masterful Virgil Partch, a celebrated New Yorker and gag cartoonist known for his wry, absurdist humor. This slim volume offers a concentrated dose of Partch's signature style—clean lines and witty, often surreal setups that skewer the foibles of modern life. It's a delightful snapshot of mid-century cartooning from a true craftsman, preserved for new readers by a publisher dedicated to comic art.
