Sir Alfred

Tim Hensley's Sir Alfred (2022–present, Fantagraphics) is a meticulously crafted, single-issue debut that reimagines the absurdist, deadpan humor of classic newspaper strips through a contemporary lens. Hensley, both writer and artist, channels the spirit of George Herriman and Ernie Bushmiller into a surreal, meticulously paneled world where a hapless knight navigates a landscape of baffling logic and visual gags. This first issue establishes a unique voice in modern comics, showcasing Hensley's signature blend of crisp, retro-style linework and dry, unpredictable storytelling.
