Petty Theft

A single-issue comic from Drawn & Quarterly, Petty Theft (2014–present) is a quiet, character-driven story by Pascal Girard that explores the unexpected weight of a small, impulsive crime. Following a man whose life is upended after he steals a woman's purse, the book examines guilt, consequence, and the fragile connections between strangers. Girard's warm, expressive linework and understated storytelling make this a poignant, human-scale drama about how a single moment can ripple outward.
