Other People: Days of the Bagnold Summer & Driving Short Distances

From 2018 onward, Simon and Schuster published this single-issue collection uniting two understated, character-driven stories by cartoonist Joff Winterhart. Days of the Bagnold Summer and Driving Short Distances quietly observe the awkward, tender rhythms of everyday life—a mother-son relationship during a long summer, and the small, revealing moments of a man’s solitary drives. Winterhart’s deadpan, expressive linework and dry humor give these slice-of-life tales a warm, offbeat humanity that lingers long after the page.
