Ragmop

In the mid-1990s, cartoonist Rob Walton brought the surreal, deadpan adventures of a perpetually put-upon janitor to life with Ragmop, a ten-issue series from the indie publisher Planet Lucy Press. Combining Walton’s clean, expressive linework with a delightfully oddball sensibility, the strip follows its blue-collar protagonist through a world of absurdist workplace comedy and off-kilter characters. A cult favorite from the era of small-press alt-comics, Ragmop stands out for its single-creator vision and its quietly hilarious take on the mundane.
