Yeah, a subscription or membership seems counter-productive to the mission. You want a broad readership, not a private club. As far as the database idea - what about approaching Poopsheet as a public service, like Wikipedia? You know, putting out...

Very nice review Alan! I think Steve has a page on ComicSpace and he's got a channel on YouTube too.

Reading an individual issue of Steve Keeter's Sunwing is a great deal like going through the quarter bin in a comics store, finding a Marvel comic from the '70s you never heard of, and reading it on a whim. That may not sound like a recommendati...

Dear Poopsheet Forum, I never believed the stories on your website were real, until I had an experience that proved wild adventures really can happen to an ordinary guy like myself. There I was, minding my own business in an Amsterdam brothel at ...

FYI, readers, I'm not sure what contact info was inside Dreamer #1 but you can find several options for contacting Nic Carcieri at the top of this page.

These two minicomics are about as unlike in content as it's possible to get. But in a way, they complement each other: Dreamer's strength is in the art, while in Lunarcy the story - or rather anti-story - is the thing. Lunarcy is a series of on...

Sounds like a neat place to visit. Too bad I live so very far away in CA

Editor’s note: In the interests of educating the public in stoner slang, and so as not to confuse the straights in the crowd, the current reviewer consulted the neighborhood pothead - who would refer to himself only as “Doctor Bong” - to create ...

Sunwing #4



Reading an individual issue of Steve Keeter's Sunwing is a great deal like going through the quarter bin in a comics store, finding a Marvel comic from the '70s you never heard of, and reading it on a whim. That may not sound like a recommendation, but it is. Sure, the story may have its flaws, but that's not the point; if you're willing to meet it on its own terms… Continue

Casual Sex by David Beyer Jr.


Dear Poopsheet Forum,

I never believed the stories on your website were real, until I had an experience that proved wild adventures really can happen to an ordinary guy like myself. There I was, minding my own business in an Amsterdam brothel at three in the morning, when I saw her. She had a body that could make the Reverend Fred Phelps dress in drag and lead a Gay Prid… Continue

Dreamer #1 by Nic Carcieri and Eric Dotson, Lunarcy by Josh Blair

These two minicomics are about as unlike in content as it's possible to get. But in a way, they complement each other: Dreamer's strength is in the art, while in Lunarcy the story - or rather anti-story - is the thing.



Lunarcy is a series of one-page gag strips about the moon. Not the man in the moon, the goddess Diana, or any other personification, but the… Continue

Domy Report



I recently visited Domy Books, Austin's new indie comics/books/counterculture shop. Domy's flagship store is in Houston, but Austin is a natural environment for a place like this. The city is currently nurturing a grassroots backlash to corporate America - the “Keep Austin Weird” movement - and Domy's inventory is purely, pleasingly weird.

The range of merchandise is comparable to Quimby… Continue

Untamed Highway #1 - 3



Untamed Highway by Shawn Dickinson and Noah Snodgrass, P.O. Box 246, Littlerock CA 95343, www.untamedhighway.com

The American road can be a very strange place. A city built with strips of concrete, you might say, with its own culture and customs, its own characters. But in what other city would you find the midnight snak… Continue
