The Seattle Simpleton

From 1975 to the present, Homestead Communications Empire released just three issues of The Seattle Simpleton, a quirky, short-lived comic series anchored by the distinctive talents of writer and artist Shary Flenniken. With additional art from Bobby London and John Workman, the series stands as a cult artifact of the underground comix era, offering a glimpse into the offbeat humor and countercultural sensibilities of its Pacific Northwest origins. Despite its brief run, it remains a notable footnote in the history of independent comics, showcasing Flenniken’s sharp, character-driven storytelling.
