Trubble Town

Trubble Town (2021–present, Simon and Schuster) is a two-issue comic series that drops readers into a delightfully chaotic world where kids run the show and adults are barely an afterthought. Written and illustrated by Stephan Pastis, it follows the misadventures of a young protagonist navigating a town where trouble is always around the corner, blending deadpan humor with a warm, slightly anarchic spirit. Though brief, the series captures Pastis’s signature wit, offering a self-contained, laugh-out-loud romp for middle-grade readers and fans of his work on Pearls Before Swine.
