About the series
Two Canadian cartoonists, John Petropoulos and Mark Sexton, teamed up for this nine-issue series from the indie publisher AAARGH! that ran from 1993 to 1996. Starring the misadventures of the titular odd couple, the book blended surreal humor with a scrappy, DIY aesthetic typical of the early-90s alternative comics scene. It stands as a quirky, lesser-known artifact of the era's small-press energy.
