Stickboy

Stickboy is an underground comix character created by cartoonist Kaz, debuting in Weirdo #10 and rooted in the irreverent alternative comics tradition. The character headlined a dedicated solo series with autobiographical elements, becoming a genuine fixture of the underground scene.

Born in the pages of Weirdo #10 in 1984, Stickboy is a creature of the underground comix scene, conjured by cartoonist Kaz Prapuolenis during the Bronze Age and nurtured by the reliably irreverent Rip Off Press across a solid twelve-year run. With a dedicated solo series bearing the character's name and a collected autobiographical volume to their credit, Stickboy earned a genuine place in the alternative comix tradition — no small feat in a world teeming with eccentric voices. Sharing pages with underground luminaries like Mary Fleener and Fat Freddy Freekowtski situates this character squarely in the countercultural firmament that Rip Off Press made its home. For collectors with a taste for the weird, the handmade, and the defiantly offbeat, Stickboy is a rewarding dig.
