Your Hytone Comics #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Pete the Plumber" is a surreal, offbeat journey from Robert Crumb, who wrote, drew, inked, and lettered every page of this 1971 Hytone Comics gem. When a desperate plumber’s life hits rock bottom, he takes a drastic step—only to find himself swept through a bizarre, pipe-lined jungle and into a world far stranger than any sewer line. The cover, also by Crumb, captures the story’s darkly whimsical tone with its stark, hand-drawn style.
Pete the Plumber, down on his luck after a botched repair and mounting bills, makes a desperate — and utterly absurd — choice: he tries to end it all by flushing himself down the toilet. What follows is a wild, surreal journey through a tangled jungle of pipes, leading him to a bizarre world far removed from his usual job. Now stranded in this strange place, Pete must figure out how to get back — and whether his wife will even care when he does.
