I Don’t Feel Home in This World Anymore was one of the most talked about independent films of the past few years, after debuting at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2017. The writer/director of that film, Macon Blair, has a new OGN coming out from ONI Press early next year, illustrated by Joe Flood (“Disney Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Science Comics: Dinosaurs.” We are thrilled to share some exclusive pages from the book.

Illustrated by Joe FloodFrom filmmaker Macon Blair (Blue Ruin, I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore) and artist Joe Flood (Science Comics) comes a Great Depression-era adventure comedy about friendship, the open road, and the pursuit of happiness. As jaunty hobos Jed and Thanny crisscross the country in search of the fabled Liquor City, they are pursued relentlessly by the fearsome railyard bull Sgt. Ronan O’Feathers, who wrongly blames the boys for his wife’s death. Fleeing O’Feathers and his posse, they encounter a succession of colorful characters along the way. Some are underdogs, fellow misfits the boys end up doing right by, even if only by accident. Some are greedy and cruel, bullies that the boys make a headache for because they don’t appreciate being pushed around or anyone who’s doing the pushing. The only constant is the absurdity and mayhem they leave in their wake.
Thanks again to Oni for the preview, and make sure to pick up the book in February!
