1. Twentieth Century Eightball
A collection of short, often darkly comic and surreal graphic stories and strips drawn from a long-running alternative-comics series, juxtaposing sharp satire of pop culture and suburban life with themes of alienation, failed relationships, grotesque absurdity, and melancholy; rendered in stark black-and-white art, the pieces range from cynical humor to haunting, dreamlike narratives that blend wit and unease.

2. Wilson
A prickly, solitary middle-aged man records his blunt, often cruel observations and stumbles through awkward attempts at friendship, romance, and reconnection in a series of short, comic-bleak vignettes; his caustic humor and self-absorption mask a deep loneliness, producing a darkly funny, melancholy portrait of someone desperate for human connection yet repeatedly sabotaging it.
