Just Another Meat-Eating Dirtbag

In Just Another Meat-Eating Dirtbag (2022–present, Street Noise Books), writer and artist Michael Sweater explores the messy, defiant life of a young punk in a small town, where veganism clashes with a scrappy, working-class reality. This single-issue comic, published by the independent Street Noise Books, captures a raw, intimate slice of counterculture identity through its protagonist's unapologetic choices. Sweater's grounded storytelling and expressive art make it a resonant addition to the publisher's line of socially conscious graphic novels.
