Morty Comix # 2524

Morty Comix # 2524 looked like it wanted to travel.

So I walked through a parking lot in Tumwater, Washington and told myself that the first out of state license plate I saw would decide the general jurisdiction of this little comic's destination. Fate chose Alaska, our neighboring state.



Then I told myself to watch for anything that had a number between 1 and 5. As I walked through the grounds of a vocational school I spotted a tennis ball a good block away from the nearest court. It had the number 2 on it. So 2 it was.

Alaska's biggest city is, of course, Anchorage. The 2nd largest depends on what source you use, and it looks like a tossup between Fairbanks and Juneau. I chose Juneau because my beautiful cousin Patti lives there. Then I located a Juneau telephone book that was about 4 years old.

For once I thought I'd actually send one of these to a comic book store, but none were listed in the Yellow Pages. Instead I found myself between Colon Hydrotherapy and Commercial Artists. You know, when you look for a comic book store and find these two instead-- I don't think this is an accident. No. It is an editorial comment.

Anyway, naturally I chose the Colon Hydrotherapy option. Fortunately I double checked the address online, because the doctor had moved since the book was printed. 


So, it is North to Alaska for this one!

Tsunami Warning System, Ocean Shores, Washington





Our thoughts go out to our neighbors in the Pacific Ring of Fire, to our brothers and sisters in Japan, Hawaii, and Alaska. Meanwhile, Washington and Oregon are on tsunami advisory/warning.

Photos taken last month while visiting the west side of our county, at Ocean Shores, Washington.

State of Beings #2: Alaska




A supplement to City Limits Gazette # dead porcupine icebox (Oct. 1991).

The cranium stage idea was later developed a little more in an issue of, appropriately enough, Cranium Frenzy.

The Mysterious Lady is based on an unintentionally chilling local advertising icon.

Hmm. Alaska. "Icebox." "Chilling." Is it me or does someone need to turn up the heat in here?
