Wuvable Oaf is an indie comic book series by American artist and writer Ed Luce, under his Goteblüd Comics imprint.[1] The central story follows the title character, Oaf Jadwiga, as he searches for love in a city that is never explicitly named, but is based on San Francisco. A number of subplots include Oaf's bizarre relationship with his cats (of which he owns dozens) and obsession with disco grindcore band Eja©uloid, whose lead singer Eiffel is Oaf's primary love interest. The comic also presents an extensive supporting cast of characters, many of whom have starred in their own spin-off stories and mini-comics.
Originally funded by a grant from Prism Comics, the series was self-published in five volumes.[2] It was compiled in graphic novel form by Fantagraphics Books in 2015.[3] A second volume titled Wuvable Oaf: Blood and Metal, focusing on Oaf's life prior to the story told in the original comics, was published in 2016.[4]
