Chronology
Followed byLike a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron

Pussey! tells the satirical story of a comic book artist named Dan Pussey, following him from his childhood years, through his successful career and into aged obscurity. Along the way he lampoons the comics industry as a whole, including direct satires of several creators, such art Art Spiegelman stand-in character Gummo Bubbleman.[2]

Dave Gilson, writing for Mother Jones, called Pussey a "knowing send-up of comic nerddom",[3] and Tom Spurgeon of The Comics Reporter said that "works like Pussey...remind that he may also be its best living practitioner of filthy, blunt satire".[4]

gollark: Right. Fair point. I'm sure there's some networking stuff around for networking over a channel where you can't run two things at once.
gollark: I also had the weird idea of networking between adjacent devices by setting labels really fast, but that probably could get by with just some sensible error checking.
