Throwback






21 copies were printed July 1, 1998 (10 blue, 11 pink). The 1st Danger Room Reprint Ed. of June 2005 had 5 blue copies. All printings were on cardstock.

This is not one of my favorites. I sort of based the bad guy on George Bush I and the hoity toit, tired, gutless and boring genealogical snobbery I have occasionally encountered. For the record, I had two ancestors aboard the Mayflower, and a ton of folks in Jamestown before that, as well as Shawnee forebears-- but I always liked that quote from political comedian Pat Paulsen (who was a native of Pacific County, Washington, right next door), "All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian."

Anyway, I don't think this minicomic really worked. But the last page does suggest Morty is indeed not an individual but an entire breed.
