Before the situation became unclear
The original series
The early 1990s
Max and Iggy began in newsprint.
Before the current mAx & Iggy strips, the characters appeared in The Wall, a comic published in a college newspaper in the early 1990s.
The original run is rougher, younger, and very much representative of its time. But Max and Iggy are already recognizably themselves: two friends trying to make sense of the insensible.
