Niumao

A playful and surreal three-issue series from the indie publisher Xiao Pan, Niumao (2006–2007) blends absurdist humor with a distinctly minimalist art style. The series is best known for its offbeat, slice-of-life vignettes featuring anthropomorphic animals and everyday oddities. Though brief, it remains a cult favorite for its quiet charm and influence on the alternative comics scene of the mid-2000s.
