Damn Weird Jam Comix #2




I don't remember the story behind this 1993 jam, but for being only four pages it was pretty damn weird!

This was Maximum Traffic's series and he drew the cover and opening thesis. I drew the rest. The comic was printed on one letter sized sheet of paper and folded twice. Then we both published it. I don't know how many Max published in Butler, Pennsylvania. Out here in the Wild West I printed 25 copies on yellow paper.

Ever since high school I have drawn people with pie-slice shaped parts of their craniums disengaging and doing unlikely things. In college my friend Kevin Wildermuth called these frequent creations "wedgies." If you haven't noticed by now, I have a "thing" about the word "cranium." It is probably no accident that an important part of our anatomy in the brain neighborhood is called the "Circle of Willis."

Max used the image on the last page many times in his later collage comix work, so if you collectors count those in your bibliographies of my work, have fun tracking them down!
