Boy's Club

A raw, autobiographical comic from Pigeon Press, Boy's Club captures the messy, mundane reality of a group of friends navigating their twenties. Created by Matt Furie, the series is best known for introducing the character Pepe the Frog, who would go on to have a vastly different cultural life beyond these pages. This debut issue establishes the series' signature blend of deadpan humor and surreal, crudely drawn charm, documenting the aimless adventures and inside jokes of its titular club. It matters as the original, unfiltered context for one of the internet's most iconic and misunderstood images.
