Peepshow is the title of a 1992 comic book collection and an ongoing autobiographical comic book by American cartoonist Joe Matt, both published by Drawn and Quarterly. The book collects strips published in various publications from before the Peepshow series started.
Story arcs[edit | edit source]
The story is divided into three story arcs:
- #1–6 — about Matt's relationship with his girlfriend Trish and their breakup.[citation needed] Collected in the book The Poor Bastard, 2002.[citation needed]
- #7–10 — deals with Matt's childhood and family.[citation needed] Collected in the book Fair Weather, 2002.[citation needed]
- #11–14 — depicts Matt arguing with his cartoonist friends and obsessing over his addiction to pornography. A new, cleaner style of drawing was adopted for this storyline.[citation needed] Printed in two colors on tinted paper.[citation needed] Collected in the book Spent, 2007.
