Peepshow

Joe Matt's Peepshow returned with the 14th issue of self loathing disgust this past week. Most of us had counted Joe out, with good reason, since its been nearly 5 years since issue 13 came out in 2002. He's making Marvel look punctual.

His embarrassingly tell-all autobiographical comics have been the inspiration for hundreds of other younger artists to write about their own adventures in masturbation but rarely with his success. Its just that no one's quite as seedy as him, or if they are, they're not as talented. One particularly classic moment comes to mind in which he broke up with his girlfriend and drove straight to New York for a Porn theater experience with a prostitute that he didn't even have the money to pay for. When he took her outside, and got a good look at her...that drawing. wow.

So, what's he been up to the past 5 years? The new issue has Matt breaking records on the first page. Plus there's him, sitting around reading his own comics, peeing in jars, and talking to his publisher. All of this excitement without leaving his house. Or changing out of his bathrobe. Or changing at all really.

Welcome back Joe Matt.
