Looking for America’s Dog

In Looking for America’s Dog (2016–present, Fantagraphics), artist Steven Weissman crafts a singular, one-issue comic that uses a deceptively simple premise—a search for a lost pet—to explore the surreal, off-kilter edges of American life. Weissman’s distinctive, cartoonish style and deadpan humor give the story a quiet, unsettling charm, making it a memorable standalone snapshot of his idiosyncratic vision.
