SOLVED. Comic strip (with at least one book collection) about the adventures of a young boy who never talks with hair sticking straight up in front who enjoys dealing with weird aliens and supernatural things. [s]

Read around 2010, I think - it is or was a daily comic strip about the adventures of a young boy (whose name might have started with an O?). He never spoke, and was vaguely Calvin-and-Hobbes-y except that the things he dealt with were real rather than imaginary. He was excited by the weird and the morbid, joyfully dealing with aliens and dark creatures and whatever (and his dad, who was a bit weirded out by his son but who dealt with him well - I don't remember the mom ever appearing).

The Liō comics by Mark Tatulli, e.g. Liō: Happiness is a Squishy Cephalopod?

That's it! Thank you!

Glad you found your book, Alloni. Is it written kids, teens and/or adults?

[Alloni]

I'd say teen to adult - while the main character is a kid, the humor is more grown-up.
