Cranium Frenzy # 6
1st edition, July or August 1990, McCleary, Washington, 60 copies, light blue cover, enlarged digest.
All subsequent editions are in regular digest format.
1994-1996, available as a print-on-demand comic.
Yellow edition, November or December 1998, 2 copies, pink cover yellow guts.
1st Danger Room Reprint Edition, June 2005, 5 copies, green.
Easily one of the most cynical comix and crankiest intros I've ever created. Maybe it had something to do with the fact I felt I was starting to hit middle age in 1990. Who knows? Not me. But the middle age thing makes a great excuse.
Trivia:
Cover and contents: It's them damn giant reptiles again!
Pages 2-3:
My brother had this song performed on stage in one of his plays. They consulted me about how I would carry the tune if sung out loud. You readers are lucky I don't have access to a mike for this blog, or I'd be singing every song from every comic I post.
Pages 6-7:
I'm an equal opportunity wiseguy in terms of poking at the Right and Left.
Page 9, panel 1: Bush I, Reagan, Nixon, Johnson, Ford, among others, are in that glob.
Page 21, last panel: I drew this whole story around this panel.
Pages 24-25: The bibliography was updated in later editions. I've included a scan from the 2005 version.
