Happy Place

Max Baitinger's Happy Place (2020–present, Rotopol) is a single-issue comic that distills a quiet, off-kilter mood into a compact visual experience. Published by the German indie press Rotopol, the book showcases Baitinger's distinctive, minimalist linework and deadpan storytelling, marking a brief but memorable entry in his growing body of work. It matters as a snapshot of contemporary small-press comics, where a single artist can build an entire world from a few spare pages.
