Poot! was an adult British comic with the tagline "silly cartoons and smart-arse satire for grown ups". The first edition was published in 1985 with a run of 500 copies.

Publication resumed in September 2009 after a gap of 19 years for a further two years until the new distributor went bust as well. Bah!. Poot! billed itself as "Probably Britain's silliest comic".
