Migraine Boy and Pals and Friends

The latest anthology of comic strips featuring the boy with the splitting headache and his lovesick nameless pal! Greg Fiering’s sometimes funny, sometimes sad and always surreal comic strip appeared in dozens of alternative newspapers in the mid 1990s, on animated spots on MTV, in the artwork for REM’s “Monster” and in collections published by St. Martin’s Press and Slave Labor Graphics. Revived in 2009 as a regular comic strip in Chicago’s Knee-Jerk magazine, “Migraine Boy and Pals and Friends” collects the nearly entire run from the past five years.
