A resident of Toronto, Joe Deagnon self published Paranoid Tales from 1995-98. It was fairly well received across Canada and the U.S.. He has contributed to several Toronto underground publications such as Exclaim, the music monthly, and Film Threat Magazine in the U.S.

Once the internet began to take hold of the public consciousness, Joe moved into the online arena and began the paranoidcomix.com site. Currently in the works is a new comic, co-written with Kirby Stasyna entitled "Chicken Outfit" which should make it's appearance by the end of 2005.

Joe Bob Briggs, drive-in movie guru and media critic has called Paranoid Tales “The Mad Magazine of the Nineties”.

Film Threat magazine hails Paranoid as “...a hopelessly autobiographical account of Deagnon's incredibly boring life, but embellished by wild bits of imagination and illustrated in the best Ralph Steadmanesque tradition.”

A self-proclaimed success story in the tradition of Tom Vu, Kirby Stasyna is living the ultimate lie in poverty and squalor. Relying only on street smarts and empty beer bottles, much of Kirby's time that should be spent working on Chicken Outfit projects, is wasted filling out job applications in the shipyards and scouring garbage cans for returnables.

A proven creative and conceptual specialist, Kirby has yet to create or conceive personal success, financial freedom, property ownership, or anything of any actual worth or value. He is also a very bad judge of character leaving him open to deadly back stabs from the many shady business types.

Kirby's artistic sense has been so toned down by ex-employers, that he can only see in 2 bit color without the use of special glasses.
