Mister Boffo is an American comic strip created by Joe Martin. The strip has been in syndication since 1986, originally distributed by Tribune Media Services and now distributed by Martin's own Neatly Chiseled Features. [1]
The main character of "Mister Boffo" is a balding, big-nosed man named Earl, who is usually shown as married to a pretty blonde woman named Nadine and as the owner of a small white dog named Weederman. However, there is no particular continuity in the strip from day to day; the characters may turn up in prehistoric times or in a futuristic spaceship, or in heaven or hell. Even in the strips set in contemporary times, Earl is depicted variously as a corporate executive, a working-class person, or a homeless beggar.
"Mister Boffo" strips have been collected in books including Mister Boffo: Unclear on the Concept (1989) (ISBN 0-316-54859-6) and Mister Boffo: Shrink Wrapped (1995) (ISBN 0-8362-1777-2).
