About this Collection

This collection gathers Basil Wolverton's contributions to his long-running 'Culture Corner' feature, originally published in various magazines. Known for his grotesque, highly detailed caricatures, Wolverton here turns his eye to the absurdities of modern life, offering a satirical take on art, music, and social pretensions. Fantagraphics presents a curated selection of these rarely-seen strips, showcasing the artist's unique blend of humor and intricate linework.

"Bedtime Banter" is a delightfully absurd tale from Basil Wolverton, whose singular art and writing style bring to life Frink Clinkslink’s surreal journey from job-hopping to a bizarre new life in Goofinia—where the word “feet” means “peanuts.” With his signature surreal flair, Wolverton crafts a story where dreams and language collide in unexpected ways, all drawn and inked with his unmistakable, off-kilter energy. The cover, also by Wolverton, captures the story’s whimsical dread in bold, exaggerated lines.

Contains 156 stories
Bedtime Banter
1 pp · Humor
Randall Laffscandal

Randall Laffscandal, a man whose laughter thrives on others' misfortunes, finds his joke book flipped when a horse steps on his head—only to discover that maintaining a straight face might be the funniest thing of all.

Bedtime Bunk
2 pp · Humor
Frink Clinkslink

Frink Clinkslink’s life takes a bizarre turn when relentless dreams of feet drive him from job to job—until he moves to Goofinia to sell peanuts, only to discover the word “feet” there means “peanuts.” Just as he’s about to give up, a dream of peanuts saves the day.

How to Heat Frigid Feet
1 pp · Humor
Clyde Creep

In "How to Heat Frigid Feet," Clyde Creep, the ever-practical Kennel Keeper, offers a surprisingly unorthodox solution to cold feet—turning personal insults into a surprisingly effective heat source. With deadpan humor and a straight face, he demonstrates his method with the kind of absurd logic only a true oddball could love.
