Oaf is a large, hirsute, scary-looking ex-wrestler who lives in San Francisco with his adorable kittens and listens to a lot of Morrissey. The book follow’s Oaf’s search for love in the big city, especially his pursuit of Eiffel, the lead singer of the black metal / queercore band Ejaculoid. Ed Luce deftly weaves stories of the friends, associates and ex-lovers of both men into the story of their courtship.

A romantic comedy at its core, Wuvable Oaf recalls Scott Pilgrim, Love and Rockets and Archie.
