Born in 1963 in Philadelphia, Joe Matt currently lives in a rooming house in Toronto where he spends most of his time editing his treasured collection of "nature films" and amassing Frank King's entire forty-year run of "Gasoline Alley" in its original daily newspaper form. Occasionally, he finds time to produce his comic book series, "Peepshow" the first six issues which have been collected in the book "The Poor Bastard."
The classic collection back again in a fifth edition as a new hardcover book. It was in these one-page strips where Joe Matt first demonstrated his gift for self-revelation. Immature, cowardly, and cheap, Joe Matt also has crack comic timing and a remarkable gift for self caricature.
