Sof' Boy and Friends

A charming, understated slice-of-life series from Drawn & Quarterly, Sof' Boy and Friends ran for three issues between 1997 and 2004. Primarily the work of artist Archer Prewitt, the comic offers a gentle, whimsical look at the quiet adventures of its title character and his circle. Its modest run captures a particular, low-key sensibility of the alternative comics scene of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
