I Want to Be Your Dog

Ho Che Anderson’s I Want to Be Your Dog is a raw, five-issue black-and-white series from Fantagraphics (1990–1991) that blends autobiographical confession with urban noir. Written and drawn entirely by Anderson, it captures the gritty, emotionally charged atmosphere of early-’90s alternative comics, exploring themes of desire, identity, and alienation through a deeply personal lens. Though brief, the series stands as a bold, unflinching early work from a creator who would go on to make a significant mark in graphic storytelling.
