Boys Club 4 by Matt Furie is the final, full-chaos installment of Furie’s cult-favorite stoner-slacker comic series—the one that birthed Pepe the Frog long before the internet twisted him into a meme. This volume keeps the original spirit alive: absurd humor, surreal slice-of-life moments, gross-out gags, and a warm, woozy sweetness underneath all the stupidity.
The “boys”—Pepe, Brett, Andy, and Landwolf—drift through their weird little world doing almost nothing productive: eating junk food, tripping out, arguing over nonsense, and spiraling into bizarre visual tangents. Furie’s art in BC4 is peak Furie: hyper-detailed one moment, childlike the next, packed with psychedelic color, soft gradients, and that unmistakable rubbery cartoon texture that makes everything feel both innocent and slightly cursed.
Tonally, the comic is a mix of 1990s gross-boy humor, Lisa Frank hallucination, and underground-comix looseness. There’s no “plot”—just vibes, drawings, and moments that feel like they drifted out of a dream after too much cereal and too little sunlight. It’s both wholesome and deranged, the purest expression of Furie’s world before the internet co-opted his characters.
If you’re collecting the series, Boys Club 4 is the rarest and most polished of the run—basically a perfect closing chapter to one of the most influential underground comics of the last 20 years.
