Poke-Me-Hiney

Few characters carry a name quite like Poke-Me-Hiney, a distinctly irreverent creation who stepped onto the page in 1999's Housewives at Play #3, brought to life by the creator known as Rebecca for Fantagraphics — a publisher never shy about pushing comics into bold, unconventional territory. This Modern Age figure inhabits the playful, adults-only world of Housewives at Play and the Eros Graphic Albums line, sharing those pages with a cast including Patty Johnson, Catherine Mitchell, and Jennifer Thompson. With only four catalog appearances across a short 1999–2002 window, Poke-Me-Hiney is a genuine rarity — the kind of quirky, blink-and-you'll-miss-it character that makes digging through Fantagraphics' more adventurous output such a rewarding hunt for the dedicated collector.
