The Persecution and Assassination of Morty the Dog by the Ingrates of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis De Sadadada






... and if you think I'm going to repeat that title in the course of this little description, forget it.

This one was published by Dada Gumbo (Dale Luciano) in 1985 when he was still in Tucson, Arizona.

As I recall, we didn't send these jams back and forth and back and forth. Usually Dale would send me an entire comic with images and words pasted in at random, and then I would impose what narrative order I could. So when my part was finished, the comic was basically done.

A sideways minicomic, it measures 11 x 14 cm.

You can add this to the list of comix where Morty the Dog bites the Big One. But as has been postulated before, Morty is probably a breed of dog and not an individual animal. That would explain why it appears he keeps dying over and over again.
