The Quigmans was a weird, slightly subversive comic that sprung from the mind of Buddy Hickerson in the mid-1980s. The one-panel mostly revolved around the misadventures of bizarre, obtuse characters, while others were sight gags with a single punchline. Think of it as a lunkheaded “The Far Side” as reflected in a warped carnival mirror.
Though something like Doug Savage’s “Savage Chickens” is one of the forerunners in horror parodies, Hickerson gives us a plot that Stephen King hadn’t yet exploited when this was published, circa 1987. (I imagine by now he has, though.)
