Fred Toote'

Fred Toote' made his entrance in the pages of Blab! #4 in 1989, a creation of the singular Xno published by the legendary underground-friendly house Kitchen Sink Press. Blab! was one of the great anthology showcases of the Copper and Modern Age, and Fred found himself in genuinely remarkable company — sharing those pages with the likes of Spain Rodriguez and Mary Fleener, names that signal serious alt-comics credibility. With seven catalogued appearances stretching across thirteen years, Fred is the kind of quietly persistent figure that rewards the dedicated digger: a niche gem tucked inside one of the more distinctive anthology runs of his era.
