Rubber Necker

Rubber Necker, a series from Alternative Comics that launched in 2002, collects the surreal, often wordless vignettes of Nicholas U. Bertozzi (credited as Nick Bertozzi). Across its four issues, the strip follows a cast of rubbery, expressive characters through absurdist, silent-comedy scenarios, showcasing Bertozzi’s distinctive linework and playful storytelling. It’s a quietly influential example of early-2000s alt-comics minimalism, where the artist’s clean, cartoonish style carries every narrative beat.
