Two years ago I saw Tasmanian comics artist Simon Hanselmann perform on a First Thursday downtown. He had a bunch of synthesizers and was singing about fisting while yuppies in college sweatshirts wandered in—and promptly OUT. Best known for his ongoing comics series about the drug (and sex!) adventures of a witch, a wolf, a cat, and an owl—which often feels like a strange brew of The Simpsons meets Trainspotting—Hanselmann’s 2017 One More Year left me emotionally devastated. I’m beyond psyched for his newest collection Bad Gateway. by Suzette Smith
