About the comic

Two friends attempting to understand the world despite considerable evidence that doing so is a mistake.

mAx & Iggy is an alternative comic strip about modern life, public absurdity, private confusion, and the thin line between paying attention and losing the plot.

The strip follows two longtime friends from one ill-advised conclusion to the next. Sometimes the subject is politics. Sometimes it's technology. Sometimes it's whatever happened in the kitchen five minutes ago.

“The situation remains unclear.”

The one in the T-shirt

Max

Wry, skeptical, and usually dressed for an event that does not exist. Max likes evidence, dislikes certainty, and owns an implausible number of slogan T-shirts.

Iggy, with short tight curls, rectangular glasses, and a chinstrap beard

The one still explaining

Iggy

Earnest, excitable, and never more than one headline away from an emergency meeting. Iggy believes every problem can be understood if he keeps talking.

That's enough biography. The archive is where the damage is documented.
