The Multiverse is a surreal, adventure, comedy comic series which follows the misadventures of a goat named Mr. Peeps and his companions; a talking dead fish and frequently unclothed Uncle Gary as they passively search for a lost sword.
Other key characters include fast food chain night manager Melinda Hernandex and the renegade professional wrestling tag team Montpelier Funk.

Puzzles, games and mazes are interspersed throughout the story and the covers are often unconventional, featuring abstract imagery, tessellations and optical illusions in support of the surreal themes.
