Synopsis

An award-winning cartoonist confronts anxiety and regret.

A long-time city maintenance worker keeps pulling an accident-prone newbie’s fat out of the fire—or maybe, in this case, an arm, another arm, and a leg out of the woodchipper. But what happens when nothing happens? Can a disaster averted still be a disaster?

In “Nestled All Snug,” frazzled bookstore clerk Sasha prepares to close the store and head home to watch Hallmark Christmas specials after a fight with her boyfriend leaves her alone for the holidays. That stack of boxes outside the bathroom looks a little precarious, but maybe returns can wait until after the holidays. FWUMP FWUMP FWUMP. Someone is definitely going to regret leaving their phone by the register before going to the bathroom.

In The Woodchipper, Joe Ollmann—cartoonist of the groundbreaking Governor General Award–finalist Fictional Father—returns with a suite of comic short stories centered on his trademark nervous-wreck characters, each caught in a series of escalating personal disasters.

Everybody’s doing their best. Everybody’s just trying to get through the day.
