Fantagraphics Books published two issues of the series from 1994 to 1997.[1]

Characterization

Doofus is a short, obese grown man with facial stubble and a pageboy haircut, topped by a straw boater. He is a known liar and obnoxious human being, with an affinity for sniffing women's underwear.[2]

Publication history

Doofus strips first appeared in the alternative weekly The Stranger.Шаблон:Cn Doofus's comic book debut was in Eightball #8 (Fantagraphics, May 1992). From 1995 to 1998, Doofus strips appeared as a backup feature in Peter Bagge's Hate, issues #21–26, and #29–30.
