Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy

A short-lived but memorable eight-issue series from Fantagraphics, Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy (1987–1988) is a quirky anthology showcasing the early work of cartoonists Joe Sacco and Craig Bartlett. The series is best known for its playful, offbeat tone and for featuring the recurring character Garfield in a series of absurdist, non-traditional strips. It stands as a fascinating snapshot of the alternative-comics scene of the late 1980s, capturing the experimental energy of two rising talents before they became famous for very different kinds of comics.
