Arsenic Lullaby

Douglas Paszkiewicz’s Arsenic Lullaby (2003–2004) is a four-issue black-comedy series from AAA Milwaukee Publishing, written and illustrated entirely by Paszkiewicz. The strip skewers taboos with a gleefully nihilistic edge, blending grotesque humor and surreal vignettes into a cult artifact of early-2000s indie comics. Its unflinching, off-kilter tone marks it as a distinctive voice in the era’s alternative press.
