Misspent Youths was an independent comic book by David Lee Ingersoll from the early 1990s, running only five issues. Reflecting a punk aesthetic even edgier at times than the Hernandez Bros.' Love and Rockets, it dealt with two homeless youth, Moe and Detritus, and their friends in a dark urban landscape filled with drugs, gangs, clubs, and music. The stories were complex, very anti-authoritarian, and the humor rich and sardonic.

The characters first appeared in Ingersoll's self-produced mini comics, and in Cerebus the Aardvark No. 144. "Misspent Youths" was published under the Providence, Rhode Island-based imprint, "Brave New Words."
