About the series
A surreal, punk-infused satire from the mid-80s, Those Annoying Post Bros. ran for 18 issues under the Vortex banner, chronicling the absurd misadventures of two aimless slackers navigating a bizarre, pop-culture-drenched world. The series is most strongly associated with writer/artist Matt Howarth, whose loose, energetic linework and deadpan humor defined its look and tone, often in collaboration with fellow underground veteran Mark Bodé and writer Lou Stathis. It stands as a cult touchstone of the alternative-comics boom, capturing the era's DIY spirit and its gleeful rejection of mainstream storytelling.
