Morty Comix # 2690













Morty Comix # 2690 was left in a spot that is somewhat significant in the history of comic art. The College Activities Building (CAB) on the campus of The Evergreen State College was home to the campus newspaper, The Cooper Point Journal, during the era when staff included cartoonists Matt Groening, Lynda Barry, Charles Burns, Jim Chupa, Flicky Ford, T.J. Simpson, and yours truly, among others.

The exact location of the 1970s CPJ office has since been part of a giant remake. The present area is filled with offices for student organizations. Even the outside looks different, including some kind of extension with wood panel siding.

I left Morty Comix # 2690 behind a decorative wall panel, which back in the 1970s would've been on the left hand of the entrance to the CPJ offices.

  1. Maybe you could put a Morty Comix across campus in the library. Try a copy of Thomas Wolfe's, "You can't go home again" in the dust jacket.

  2. Ha! That's good. Actually my view of time is closer to that of Billy Pilgrim's so I would be more likely to deposit a Morty Comix in Slaughterhouse-Five, like I did in the Butler, PA library last summer.
