Ernie Pook's Comeek is an American underground comic/alternative comic by Lynda Barry.
[1] It was first published in 1979, without Barry's knowledge, by Matt Groening and John Keister in their respective college newspapers.
In the very beginning, the comic chronicled the everyday life of a young boy, Ernie Pook.
However, within a period of about a year, the comic's focus shifted to a slightly awkward young girl named Maybonne Mullen and her largely dysfunctional family, who live in a trailer park in the Pacific Northwest sometime in the early 1970s.
While Barry has stated the comic wasn't autobiographical, it was loosely based on her own childhood years.
