Pat

Pat is an underground comix character created by Jay Lynch, debuting in Bijou Funnies #5 as part of the countercultural comics scene. Pat appears alongside recurring Lynch creations like Nard and DiDi Glitz in freewheeling, offbeat strips.

Born in the pages of Bijou Funnies #5 in 1970, Pat is a product of the underground comix revolution — a Silver Age creation from the countercultural fringes where The Print Mint was publishing some of the era's most freewheeling work. Brought to life by Jayzey Lynch, Pat keeps wonderfully offbeat company alongside the likes of Nard, Danger Rangerette, Snappy Sammy Smoot, and DiDi Glitz, and went on to appear across landmark underground titles like Arcade the Comics Revue and even the pages of High Times Magazine. With six catalog appearances and at least one recognized key issue to their name, Pat is a compact but genuine piece of underground comics history — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated digger who loves the era when alternative comics were genuinely, gloriously alternative.
