Welcome!

…to the website of Sam Hepburn, just a humble, slightly neurotic cartoonist inspired by the absurdity of this world and all of us who call it home.

From her self-published picture book in 2010 to her daily comic strip, Welcome to Agency X (2015-2016), and the long-running Questionable Quotebook, Sam’s work blends humour and social commentary with a dash of surrealism.

Sam’s debut kids’ graphic novel, Schoolbot 9000, is out now from Dial Books for Young Readers.
