Kennel Block Blues

Kennel Block Blues (2017–present, Boom! Studios) is a single-issue comic from writer Ryan Ferrier and artist Daniel Bayliss that imagines a prison for dogs—a grim, surreal take on the animal shelter system where inmates are scheduled for execution. Its dark humor and emotional punch come from the perspective of a lovable mutt named Oliver, who must navigate this canine penitentiary with his fellow cellblock buddies. The series stands out for its bold, offbeat premise and its commentary on animal welfare, wrapped in a surprisingly heartfelt story.
