From 1992 to 1999, The Independent ran Blegvad's strangely surreal, comic strip, Leviathan, which received much critical praise for blending some of the most interesting elements of Krazy Kat with a coming-of-age-esque story akin to Calvin and Hobbes. Some of the strips have been collected in the 2001 volume The Book of Leviathan . Other comics and illustrations by Blegvad have appeared in The Ganzfeld and Ben Katchor's Picture Story 2 .

This book is not only difficult to obtain (it took me years to find a copy), it is whole-heartedly worth every moment waiting to be able to read it. Absurdist dada with humor, intelligence and intense wit, Headcheese is a brilliant book of short musing and everyone should be kissing Peter Blegvad’s ass in appreciation... but only if he would want you to do that.
