Baron Von Mabel's Backpacking

Sheridan Anderson’s Baron Von Mabel’s Backpacking is a single-issue comic from Rip Off Press, first published in 1980 and still in print. A quirky, instructional parody of outdoor adventure guides, it blends Anderson’s folksy, detailed artwork with deadpan humor aimed at campers and hikers. Its enduring cult appeal lies in its affectionate spoof of the backpacking lifestyle, making it a beloved oddity for fans of offbeat, niche comics.
