Letterpress on Somerset archival paper. Signed and numbered by the artist. Dissected Companion (Black) by KAWS, created in 2006, is a rare letterpress print on Somerset archival paper, measuring 50 × 50 cm and limited to an edition of just 4. The work features the artist’s iconic Companion figure rendered in stark black, with one half revealing a brightly colored anatomical cross-section. With X-ed out eyes and exaggerated cartoon-like organs, the figure embodies KAWS’s critique of consumer culture and his playful yet unsettling reinterpretation of familiar pop imagery. The glow-in-the-dark palette and simplified internal anatomy lend the piece a graphic intensity and eerie charm.

What is Comic Strip Art?
Comic strip art refers to artwork that utilizes the subject matter and commercial printing techniques found in comic strips. In the 1960s, a group of artists began creating paintings that incorporated Ben-Day dots—commonly used in comics and advertising—to produce highly graphic designs in bright colors, using traditional art media.
