Mr. Boop

Alec Robbins

2022 Ignatz Award Winner for Outstanding Collection

The beloved webcomic collected in its entirety for the first time in a beautiful deluxe edition!


Author Alec Robbins is deeply in love with his wife, 1930s cartoon superstar Betty Boop. And wouldn't you know it, she loves him back! It's the perfect marriage, and nothing will ever go wrong. They'll be happy together forever and nothing will ever come between them--not other famous cartoon characters, not intellectual property law, and certainly not Alec's own towering insecurities. Basically, they're just both really happy together and everything's good and nice and that's the end of it. No more questions. Don't even bother reading this comic.

Absurdist humor, a middle finger to corporate IP, and a sweetly romantic heart blend together into one of the most inventive comics of the Twitter age.

Praise for this book

"Mr. Boop is a Tijuana Bible for the Twitter age, racy and absurd and a jab in the eye of every intellectual property law in existence. It's also the most romantic comic strip of the year." - Kayleigh Hearn, comic critic
"One of the most exciting webcomics of 2020." - AiPT
"Mr. Boop is everything I've always wanted comics to be: funny, inventive, and also non-fiction about being married to Betty Boop. Alec is truly living the dream." - Ryan North, Dinosaur Comics
"Mr. Boop is one of my favorite things. It is so, so funny and takes so many unexpected turns. Will read this over and over." - Tim Robinson
"It's a Rube Goldbergian maze of multilevel, tongue-in-cheek internet ironizing, catnip for those who love such stuff." - Publishers Weekly
"A note-perfect satire of a very specific time on the internet with layers that only reveal themselves as the story unfolds." - The Verge
"An X-rated Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the digital age." - WWAC, "Favorite Small Press Books of 2022"
