The object
The object
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. Dave Gilson, writing for Mother Jones, called Pussey! A "knowing send-up of comic nerddom", 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".
