Goodnight, Irene

Carol Lay’s Goodnight, Irene (2007–present, Last Gasp) is a singular, ongoing comedic series that follows the misadventures of its title character through layered, deadpan storytelling. Written and drawn entirely by Lay, the first issue introduces a world of offbeat humor and sharp observations that has defined her distinctive voice in alternative comics. Though the series has only one issue to date, it remains a notable entry in Lay’s body of work, showcasing her ability to blend wit with a light touch.
