The MODniks #1 - Cube Goes Mod
There's a lot to be annoyed with in this here comic- the Fashion Fascism, the pathetic attempt to have the main mod resemble John Lennon(with a boater?) and well, those are the main things as far as I'm concerned but I'm sure you can find some of your own. Little did they know who would win the Fashion Wars in the end. Reminds me of the time I went to my first "punk" club and some guy left the "mosh pit" long enough to run over and scream "Why aren't you dancing?!?" at me. I read once that Robert Crumb fought long and hard to perserve his dweebish look against hippies who suggested he get "hip" so girls would like him- fame fixed that problem, however. Anyway, the hecky-durn with "mod". "Enjoy!"...
Where's a vicious mob of chain-wielding Rockers when you need 'em?...

The Little Monsters - The Creepy Visitor
I found this little gem in the back of a Three Stooges comic I bought when I was 8 and had forgotten all about it 'til I just discovered it again, it's such a rush when that happens...
Now that's scary!...

Dell Frankenstein #4 - The Return of Mr. Freek
I really can't think of anything clever to say about this- oh no, wait, how about, "They shoulda called this comic Franken-STUPID! HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!" (...) Ok, never mind...
Stay tuned for the freeky conclusion...

R.I.P. Art Clokey 1921-2010
Finding out that Gumby was on VHS in the early 80s was the catalyst- I got my first VCR. The Gumby films Clokey made in the 50s live in a strange but wonderful closed-in world that only children with imagination inhabit and are full of danger as well as joy. Check 'em out, they gotta be on YouTube...
Hint- The red-eyed Gumby is the best...
