Space Mouse #5 - The Bored Baron

Thanx to Eegah!! for providing me with the weirdest "funny animal" story i've ever read...

"I need someone to pulllllllll the trigger..."

I can't help but feel "Rikk" got sort of screwed, though.; Friday, March 25, 2011 3:53:00 PM
Prof. Grewbeard said...: it's lots of fun guessing what the writer's state of mind might have been at the time, to produce this grim concept. i know golden age comics could be brutal, but Space Mouse? what do i know, this is the only issue i've ever read...; Saturday, March 26, 2011 3:15:00 AM
Mr. Karswell said...: That's a great fight cloud panel on page 3-- "POW! WHAM! BAM! SOCK!" (someone lost a sock?) And how did Space Mouse knock him out with that punch? --he's wearing a helmet! This was cool as all hell.; Saturday, March 26, 2011 2:37:00 PM

Aaron Neathery said...: Weird coincidence. I came across this issue of Space Mouse when I was a wayward youth digging through boxes of (at the time) otherwise unsalable golden-age comics at the Northside Book Emporium. I distinctly remember the owner's comment to me when I bought it: "You really like the weird crap, don't you?" Yes. Yes I do.; Friday, April 08, 2011 12:24:00 AM
