Sof' Boy has also made several appearances in a number of anthologies, including Blab!, Drawn & Quarterly, Zero Zero and Kramers Ergot issue 9. In 1997, Drawn & Quarterly started publishing Sof' Boy as a full color comic book series and a Sof' Boy book collection will be published by 2002.
Another Prewitt character, Funny Bunny, has made appearances in publications as diverse as Entertainment Weekly On Campus, Chicago's New City weekly newspaper, and Slant, the free give-away paper once published by the Urban Outfitters chain.
