PeePee PooPoo
A queer autobiographical comic anthology where freelance taxes, dating disasters, and the absurd dignity of being alive meet the spirit of 1960s underground comix.
đź“– Silver Sprocket • Started 2022
PeePee PooPoo is Caroline Cash’s ongoing autobiographical anthology — a gleefully crude, tender, and hilarious comic series that has become one of the most decorated indie comics of the 2020s. Each issue collects short strips ranging from one-pagers to longer-form stories, mining the rich seam between deadpan autobio confession and the anarchic spirit of 1960s underground comix. Cash draws herself as a cartoon avatar navigating dating, freelancing, depression, and the profound weirdness of being a queer millennial — all in a style that feels like a lost R. Crumb comic reimagined for the Instagram age.
The series started as a self-published zine with a deliberately juvenile title and an intentionally nonsensical numbering scheme: issue #69, then #420, then #80085. “I just wanted to make a silly little comic,” Cash told The Comics Journal. “It was the height of the peepee poopoo memes. I just thought I’d be dumb.” Silver Sprocket picked it up for wider distribution, and the silly little comic won the 2022 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Minicomic and the 2024 Eisner Award for Best Limited Series — making “PeePee PooPoo” a phrase spoken on stage at two of comics’ most prestigious ceremonies.
The series has been nominated for the Cartoonist Studio Prize and won the Broken Frontier Award for Best Periodical. In 2025, a special one-shot was nominated for the Eisner in Best Single Issue/One-Shot. Cash’s work also appears in The New Yorker, Vice, and The Nib, and her success with PeePee PooPoo led directly to her becoming the new full-time cartoonist of the legendary syndicated strip Nancy in 2026.
Perfect for fans of Lynda Barry’s Ernie Pook’s Comeek, Gabrielle Bell’s Cecil and Jordan in New York, and R. Crumb’s Zap Comix — autobio comics with no filter and a lot of heart.
