Mr. Colostomy

Matthew Thurber’s Mr. Colostomy, a single-issue comic from Drawn & Quarterly in 2022, presents a typically surreal and idiosyncratic vision from the cartoonist. Written and drawn entirely by Thurber, the issue stands as a self-contained burst of his singular, absurdist humor and intricate, densely packed art. It matters as a showcase for Thurber’s distinctive voice in alternative comics, delivering a concentrated dose of his off-kilter storytelling.
