Good Dog

Graham Chaffee’s Good Dog (2013–present, Fantagraphics) is a single-issue comic that follows a stray dog navigating a harsh urban landscape. Chaffee, the sole writer and artist, brings a gritty, empathetic eye to the animal’s silent struggle for survival, blending stark black-and-white art with a wordless, cinematic narrative. It’s a poignant, minimalist fable that stands out in the alternative comics scene for its raw, unsentimental portrayal of resilience.
