This is my most recent full length solo comic. It was created as sort of a 30th anniversary of self-publishing obscuro comix-- hence all the reprinted work and dredging up of many old characters. I guess I should get on the dime and really finish up this comic I'm working on now in order to have Cranium Frenzy # 11 ready by 2013 for the 40th anniversary.
This comic was also my experiment with silent timing in comix.
Trivia:
The cover logo was, I think, drawn on toilet paper or a paper towel with felt tip and then enlarged.
Page 3: There are many characters in this story who were left over from the unpublished Bezango WA 985 # 9, such as Oric the waiter. They will be easy to spot.
Page 8: Oogla boogla meebee zeebee was a chant I first used in comix in the early 1970s.
Page 15, last panel: My favorite panel in the whole comic. Shows you how us lowbrows like to celebrate frivolity.
Page 20-22: My comment on the post 9/11 world. Also, a personal photocopier in the hands of a cartoonist can be a dangerous thing.
Page 28: I like the word "thwart" almost as much as I like the word "cranium."
