Joe Matt: What's in My Bag?

Amoeba / May 18, 2009

Joe Matt

Joe Matt was born in Philadelphia in 1963. By his own account (collected in the graphic novel Fair Weather in 2002) he was a spoiled, selfish, and unpleasant child with a bedwetting problem, who also happened to be obsessed with collecting comics.

In the early 1980s, Joe Matt studied at the Philadelphia College of Art and worked in a broom factory. In 1987, he started drawing the dense single-page confessional strips that made him a comics hero when they were collected in 1992 by Kitchen Sink Press and published as Peepshow: The Cartoon Diary of Joe Matt. He began his ongoing comic book series Peepshow that same year with Drawn & Quarterly, the first six issues of which were collected as The Poor Bastard in 1997.

His most recent story arc (published as Spent in 2007), although only four issues long, took over eight years to complete. The rest of his time was quite likely spent meticulously editing porn videos, collecting and archiving classic comic strips, wallowing in self-pity, and otherwise "procrasturbating," overwhelmed by the laziness that motivates him to urinate in a bottle in his bedroom rather than walk to the bathroom.

He currently lives and avoids work in Los Angeles.
