Ed Steed Cartoon Collection "Happy Hour" Fall 2026

 

Via Drawn and Quarterly:


"Well, Executive Editor Tom Devlin wasn’t at San Diego Comic-Con, but we have a few books from his desk to announce. First off, considered by many to be the best single panel gag cartoonist in a generation, Fall 2026 will see the release of Happy Hour, the follow up Edward Steed’s first D&Q collection, FORCES OF NATURE. Both books are available in two colors, the closest D&Q will ever get to doing variant covers.

"Steed combines scratchy drawings harking back to the golden age of New Yorker drawing—think Steig and Steinberg—and a deadpan absurdity that makes each drawing open up like a bitter flower. A cartoonist’s cartoonist if ever there were one and a one-man argument for the viability of the gag panel form."
