Completely Pip and Norton

In 2002, Dave Cooper brought his singularly weird and wonderful vision to Dark Horse with Completely Pip and Norton, a single-issue comic that distills his fascination with grotesque, emotionally raw characters. The story follows the strange, symbiotic relationship between Pip, a bulbous, childlike figure, and Norton, his more cynical companion, as they navigate a world of surreal domesticity and bodily absurdity. Cooper’s lush, painterly art and off-kilter storytelling make this a memorable, one-shot oddity that showcases his unique voice in alternative comics.
