My Time Machine

In My Time Machine (2024–present, Fantagraphics), cartoonist Carol Lay spins a reflective, wryly humorous one-shot about an ordinary woman who stumbles upon a working time machine in her own backyard. Rather than grand historical adventures, Lay focuses on the small, personal choices and everyday regrets that ripple through the decades. This single issue distills a lifetime of what-ifs into a charmingly low-key meditation on memory, chance, and the quiet paths not taken. It’s a compact, character-driven gem from a veteran cartoonist known for her sharp, observational style.
