Shrimpy and Paul

Shrimpy and Paul is a single-issue comic from Highwater Books, launched in 2003 and still ongoing—though its brief, self-contained run captures a distinctive, offbeat voice. Known for its quirky, character-driven storytelling, the series introduces a pair of unlikely friends navigating small, surreal misadventures. While the talent most associated with it remains the creative force behind its charmingly odd world, Shrimpy and Paul stands as a cult curio from Highwater’s eclectic catalog, offering a snapshot of the publisher’s commitment to unconventional, heartfelt comics.
