Peepshow (comics)

Peepshow is the title of a 1992 comic book collection and an ongoing autobiographical comic book by American cartoonist Joe Matt, both published by Drawn and Quarterly. The book collects strips published in various publications from before the Peepshow series started.

Story arcs
The story is divided into three story arcs:


 * #1–6 — about Matt's relationship with his girlfriend Trish and their breakup. Collected in the book The Poor Bastard, 2002.


 * #7–10 — deals with Matt's childhood and family. Collected in the book Fair Weather, 2002.


 * #11–14 — depicts Matt arguing with his cartoonist friends and obsessing over his addiction to pornography. A new, cleaner style of drawing was adopted for this storyline. Printed in two colors on tinted paper.  Collected in the book Spent, 2007.

Animated TV series
In 2004, it was reported that HBO was developing an animated series based on The Poor Bastard that would be produced by Matt and David X. Cohen. This project was abandoned in 2005.
