Why I was reading about some omnipotent jumpsuit-wearing douche WITH A FUCKING MULLET PERM instead of this happy-go-lucky stuff is beyond me. (I hate my life so much more now.) (GRIND!)

xpost - yeah, I was some kinda something, all right.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 03:58 (twenty years ago)

I vaguely remember reading some "Mr. Pumpie's World" in HM during the not-brief-enough period I was "reading" HM. Lemme tell you, between the Crepax & Manara sci-fi boobies, 4-panel comic strips about sausage fit riiiight in.

I just found all my Gnatrats the other day, does anyone know if there was anything in the collection that wasn't in the issues (apart from the Martin TMNTs of course. don't fear, I have both the issues AND the collection of those!)

(I only have the second collection of 20 Nude Dancers 20 though)

(cries)

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

No, the winner would have to be Pre-Teen Dirty-Gene Kung-Fu Kangaroos.

Mark Martin was the other artist (besides Jim Woodring) in Tantalizing Stories, which was probably a bad idea on his part--Woodring is one of the very few artists who can blow Martin away on something like his own turf. I mean, poor Montgomery Wart had to go on after "Frank in the River"...

― Douglas (Douglas), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 07:13 (twenty years ago)

Marvels 3 years too-late attempt to cash in : Power Pachyderms. Anyone read that...?

Didn't think so...

― David N (David N.), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 08:52 (twenty years ago)

I remember Power Pachyderms. Truly dreadful stuff.

Although there's an argument to be made that it was more about following an established Marvel trend started in the Marvel Tails book of 83, later as a back-up strip in Marvel Tales itself, by Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-ham. 6 months before TMNT#1.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 10:05 (twenty years ago)

Peter Porker (fnarr fnarr) - I almost sorta used to like that, a bit. Maybe.

Who wrote/drew?

And this is unrelated and probably deserves a thread of its own - if there isn't one already - but Fred Hembeck? Peter Porker makes me think of him for some reason...

― David N (David N.), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I give up. Why does Mark Martin have links to Michelle Malkin and Condi Rice on his homepage (along with Woodring, Fleener, Wayno, etc.)

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 12:55 (twenty years ago)

i think it was fred hembeck, yeah.

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 12:59 (twenty years ago)

unless i am getting it confused with those parody spider-man comics that ran in marvel's little monthly buyer's guide rag.

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

I don't think Hembeck did Porker. He DID do "Little Peter Parker", tho. (strongo goddit.)

Austin, you missed the link to DRUDGE! DEVELOPING...

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:01 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, and "Victoria's Light" and Rosie O'Donnell too. I figured I had a pretty good sampling of WTF links already, though.

I remember having trouble with my mom when I bought the CLASSIC Squadron Supreme trade with Mark Gruenwald's ashes diluted in the ink. I remember telling my sister about it and the traitorous little brat had to tell my mom...she was really scared of disturbing the dead, etc etc etc.

Back then I really wanted to read that, nowadays I'm not really that sure about how cool it is to have Gruenwald's ashes in my room...

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

I was a major collector of "indiependent b+w" comics around then. I had been a Marvel kid then discovered, yes, Aircel! Samurai! Dragonlord! I was like, man this is the REAL stuff, so mature, so adult, so black and white! So much cooler then that Marvel and DC crap! Then one day I bought the Swamp Thing where Alan Moore has him in space communing with aliens and shit. I put tha away for a couple of years. Then I was saved by Fantagraphics.

Speaking of, Fantagraphics just collected Usagi Yojimbo...one furry animal title that has some sort of critical acclaim?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

i will still stump for usagi yojimbo, i think. the art, at least, was always lovely.

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

didn't fantagraphics do a funny animal anthology series in this era? they were publishing as much of it as anyone, if i remember correctly.

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

Wasn't it called Critters?

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

yeah!

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

And one issue of it actually included a flexi-disc with a song by Alan Moore and David J, "March of the Sinister Ducks." The only march I've ever heard in 3/4 time, which I think was the joke.

― Douglas (Douglas), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, Critters...and Dalgoda..A Dog Lad. It just struck me as interesting that they're releasing Usagi now. Not that I have anything against it, I remember liking it. I just tend to wonder about the use of furry animals to begin with. I don't know the plot, but does Usagi have to be a rabbit? Would people have taken Cerebus more seriously if he wasn't an aardvark? I know plenty took Cerebus seriously, prob. too seriously, but I always remember some Jaime Hernandez quote where he talks about Chester Brown trying to get him to read it and being like, "but...it's about an aardvark".

remember Albedo? It was worth hundreds of dollars. Prior to the worst days of Marvel/DC/Image sponsored speculation, there was definately some crazy dutch tulip action going on with these mid 80s B+W indies.

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

Would people have taken Cerebus more seriously if he wasn't an aardvark?

It wouldn't have been as funny, and thus not as worthy of being taken seriously! I mean, isn't one of the best things about Cerebus how he is just *not supposed to be* wherever he is, that he's just this totally unique* crazy...thing, and no one (least of all himself) knows what the fuck it's all about? That just wouldn't be as engaging if the otherness amounted to being a mysterious Conan-type savage, I don't think...

Also, one of my fav things about Cerebus = frustrated Cerebus face. And that could NEVER look as good if it was human.

as opposed to every one of the previous nineteen years, in all of which they have also had Usagi material in print and available?

I didn't realize Fantagraphics kept their material in print for so many years and certainly never saw it highly promoted on their website or elsewhere untill I saw it somewhere recently.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 29 September 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 29 September 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

am I crazy? did I just have tunnel vision? I've been reading fantagraphics since Love and Rockets issues 18 and yeah, Critters above, but for the last 10 or so years, I never noticed they were publishing any furry animal type stuff. My bad.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 29 September 2005 02:57 (twenty years ago)

I don't know that Usagi Yojimbo necessarily qualifies as "furry animal type stuff", despite starring a furry animal type. Mostly because Stan Sakai has cachet (and longevity!), while most of the other guys involved w/ the shenanigans listed here just rode TMNT's shells until the soup was done.

For whatever reason, UY reminds me of those plain three-color monthly / bi-monthly Overstreet Price Guides. And sitting at my grandparents' dining room table, eating stale Jax and drinking flat orange soda while checking to see how much my X-Men books were worth.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 29 September 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

I don't think Cerebus qualifies in the same way either, but I was taking Jamie's attitude towards anything, serious or not, the stars a fuzzy animal, combined with Fantagraphics more heavily promoted titles.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 29 September 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

They rarely promoted it heavily after the ongoing series moved to Dark Horse, but both they and Sakai seem to have been perfectly happy for the first (six?) (yes) collected volumes to stay at Fanta. Occasionally one volume would sell out and have to wait for a hole in the schedule to be reprinted, but yeah, it's otherwise been a quiet staple of FBI's catalogue since Critters #1.

― kit brash (kit brash), Thursday, 29 September 2005 06:49 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I give up. Why does Mark Martin have links to Michelle Malkin and Condi Rice on his homepage (along with Woodring, Fleener, Wayno, etc.)

Austin, you missed the link to DRUDGE! DEVELOPING...

Back in the days when Clinton was still prez, Martin had a bunch of anti-Slick-Willy-type political content on his site. I was totally bummed out to discover that the cartoonist hero of my Comic Buyer's Guide reading youth was such a bog-standard Republican.

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 29 September 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

Damn, Chris, that is sorrowful to hear. I think Woodring (my superest-favoritest-everest) is more on the left side, fortunately.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:08 (twenty years ago)

gah, i didn't even see that. that's fucking terrible.

woodring, on the other hand, does seem to be more left-leaning and is, incidentally, one of the nicest cartoonists, like, ever. (i am sure i have told the story of the time i wrote to him when i was about 16 or so, asking for advice in a typically teenage cackhanded way, and he sent me back this really lovely, supportive, handwritten letter on the back of a page he had used to lay out a page of a frank story.)

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:14 (twenty years ago)

Just to stay on topic - Frank and Manhog are furry animals right? Sure they are!

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

i would like to know the precise moment that general comics readers were suddenly embarassed to be caught buying a comic featuring a funny animal toting an automatic weapon or blade.

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:29 (twenty years ago)

because for a long time it seemed like this was perfectly acceptable behavior that would now be derided as scary furriness.

― strng hlkngtn (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:30 (twenty years ago)

(whereas frank is like, you know, an art comic.)

Frank is almost a surreal parody of the conventional comic protagonist, lost in a dreamlike world not of his making. Boris the Bear is a ninja bear.

For a while Woodring was illustrating dreams for people. I went to a house party once and saw a signed illustration on a girls wall. She didn't even know the comics. She just saw an ad in some zine or something, sent him a few bucks and got the art.

He's like one of those generic superheroes from some "You Can Draw Supehero Comics" guides.

What was his power, exactly?

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Thursday, 29 September 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

the ability to turn straight blokes?

I'm not sure 'I have no toes, but I do have these boss shin tattoos' counts as a power.

who remembers Neil the Horse? Not a TMNT parody, just something I remembered.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 30 September 2005 02:58 (twenty years ago)

Dude, I remember Neil the Horse! I don't think I ever quite "got" it, but it was loads better than most of the stuff we've been discussing here. Did the creator die recently, or am I thinking of a different semi-famous transgendered person?

Also, it's not being a republican is any worse than being whatever Dave Sim is, or a loonie Randian like Steve Ditko.

No way, Ditko's Aristotlean/Objectivist philosophy is more rewarding than that! I love his twisted caricatures of people who want the "unearned". It's like a total kick to my liberal ass every time I read that stuff, it's so awesome.

"Let others learn, make the effort, take the risks in producing, use mutal [sic] consent and non-coercive trade! I want my share, my needs-- or else! We must control you, economics! We'll pass anti-business legislation, denounce profit.. confiscate property.. nationalize technology.. have a public, a collective good! What ever anyone has, he also has our share! We demand a right to what we don't have, have not earned but want and need!"

"You competence to produce makes you unfit to live your own life! Freedom, rights, mutual consent and free trade enslave humanity! Our incompetence makes us morally superior to your selfish competence! Our non-value gives us a right to the values you greedily produce"

"No one has a right to stop me from making others accept my demands! Can't you see I'm doing it for everyone's good!"

etc., etc.

The former Arn Saba didn't die, she got busted selling elephant-baffling quantities of dope and mushrooms out of her apartment.

I can't stop looking at this. It's just mesmerising in it's awfulness.

I have to admit that the issues of Boris The Bear where he kills all the Transformers and all of the Elfquest characters are still pretty hilarious.
