Irving, Texas : Ozone Press, July 1987. 500 copies.
Hal Hargit and Dave Tosh put together this farewell to Morty after one of many announcements the mutt was dead. Other artists in the roast included: T. Ritter, W.C. Pope, Wayno, Walt Rodgers, Bob Vojtko, Rick Bradford, Allen Freeman, Andy Nukes, Mike Hill, Jim Thompson, Matt Feazell, Matt Borders, Ted Bolman, Jim Ryan, Brad Foster, Dale Luciano, Jeff Gaither, Edd Vick, and myself.
This thick minicomic included a centerspread that folded out to letter size.
This book really makes me teary eyed to read even now, after almost a quarter century. Such a great bunch of cartoonists. This comic made me realize how lucky I was not only to have such a wonderful network of comrades, but also, perhaps ironically given the fact Morty was supposed to be dead, that I had created a character worthy of a roast.
Wow, any chance that you would have any of those still for sale? I would send you the cost plus postage by return mail. Let me know when you get some time.

Hi Larned. Actually this was originally published by Ozone Press, not me. The copy I scanned is my only copy. But 500 of these babies were cranked out, so it should be pretty easy to find one on eBay or ask Rick Bradford at Poopsheet to let you know when one of these drifts his way.
