Misery Loves Comedy

A single-issue comic from Fantagraphics, Misery Loves Comedy (2007) is a concise, characteristically wry collection of one-page gag strips by the singular cartoonist Ivan Brunetti. Known for his minimalist, scratchy linework and bleakly humorous worldview, Brunetti here distills his signature blend of existential dread and sharp social observation into a tight, memorable package. It’s a minor but essential entry in his body of work, showcasing the pure, unadorned form of his comedic voice.
