So Buttons: Man of, Like, a Dozen Faces

Alchemy Comix's So Buttons: Man of, Like, a Dozen Faces debuted in 2015 as a single-issue comic, a self-contained burst of offbeat humor from the small press. The series centers on a shape-shifting protagonist whose identities run the gamut, played for absurdist effect. While the run is brief, it's a distinctive artifact of creator-driven, alternative comics—a snapshot of a quirky premise that feels both of its era and outside any mainstream trend.
