One of my favorites is a panel of Megg at a children's birthday party, black robes drawn up over hair legs as she sits on a pony. But some single panels are so fucking funny. At times I felt like it tried to be edgy just to be edgy, in the vein of Zap! comics. It's definitely supposed to make you squirm. The vulgarity made me uncomfortable-some drawn-out and graphic jokes about sexual assault, or even just images of the trio's filthy apartment. They are all terrible people who terrorize each other endlessly. Megahex is a collection of Simon Hanselman's Life Zone comics, which follow Megg, a witch, Mogg, her cat-lover, and Owl, their deadbeat roommate. St.I'm hesitant about recommending Megahex to people, because it's so weird that people will either really dig it or think I'm insane for suggesting it.2018 Angoulême International Comics Festival Award for "Best Series"īibliography Minicomics, webcomics, and anthology contributions.2017 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album Reprint for "Megg & Mogg in Amsterdam".

The short is titled Megahex, Devil’s Night, and featured the voices of Emma Chamberlain as Megg, Macaulay Culkin as Mogg, Dave Foley as Owl, and Jon Glaser as Werewolf Jones. In October 2022, Megg, Mogg & Owl made their animated debut in the anthology film The Paloni Show! Halloween Special! for Hulu produced by Justin Roiland. In March 2020, he began serializing a pandemic-themed serial, Crisis Zone, on his Instagram. He is currently living in California with his wife and daughter. Hanselmann's primary English-language publisher is Fantagraphics Books. In Hanselmann's stories, the pair are "depressed drug users struggling with life", and are usually accompanied by two other regular characters, the uptight Owl and the highly volatile Werewolf Jones. Īlthough the title characters are a witch and a cat, like the popular 1970s children's book heroes Meg and Mog, "they are emphatically not the same".
Hanselmann's Megg, Mogg, and Owl comics are currently published in 13 languages internationally. Hanselmann has been nominated four times for an Ignatz Award, four times for an Eisner Award, once for the Harvey Award and won Best Series at Angouleme 2018. Simon Hanselmann is an Australian-born cartoonist best known for his Megg, Mogg, and Owl series.
