On the Border

A small-town field guide

After moving to St. Stephen, New Brunswick during the height of the pandemic, cartoonist Brandon Hicks began illustrating a diary to record all of the strange occurrences and social mores of this sleepy border town.

On The Border collects the best of these stories, introducing you to a large cast of idiosyncratic neighbours, wild animals and strange antagonists. Learn all there is to know about the local traditions, bizarre habits and the changing economy of a small East Coast community.
