Meet Tedward - a blockhead with a heart of gold- and a talent for making bad situations worse. Tedward is- in many ways- the quintessential 'lovable loser' - an almost literal blockhead and mangenue in the grand tradition of Pee-Wee Herman- Candide- and Flakey Foont- affording his creator the perfect vehicle to indulge his brilliantly absurdist storytelling instincts. Tedward's susceptibility to temptation- exploitation (capitalistic or sexual)- and misplaced trust continually lands him in ridiculous and hilarious situations- be they scatological- orgiastic- violent- or mundane. Through it all- his heart of gold never wavers. Tedward is the debut collection from British-born Philadelphia cartoonist Josh Pettinger. Featuring sex trousers- coital hygienists- warm televisions- hot rocks- and clown meat- as well as romance- crime- conflict- and cosmic wonders! A spiritual cousin to the humor of Simon Hanselmann and Daniel Clowes- Pettinger's singularity of tone and style in these episodic comedies mark him as a master cartoonist just entering his prime.
