Highbone Theater

Highbone Theater, published by Fantagraphics since 2016, is a singular comic by South African cartoonist Joe Daly that blends surreal humor with a loose, expressive line. The series’ single issue introduces a cast of oddball characters in a small-town theater setting, where the mundane and the bizarre collide with a deadpan, offbeat charm. Daly’s distinctive voice—equal parts stoner comedy and existential musing—marks this as a cult-worthy entry in his body of work.
