Morty Comix # 2621

Morty Comix # 2621 was placed in an empty display case attached to a gas pump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Residents of the western portion of the Keystone State can rest easy knowing this was the last Morty Comix I placed in a furtive manner in their part of the world (which I fell in love with, by the way). There is one more Pennsylvania-distributed Morty Comix to come, but it was proudly drawn in the open.

Morty Comix # 2620

Morty Comix # 2620 was drawn on the reverse side of a business card and presented to Tom Rehm in Butler, Pennsylvania. Here he is pictured expressing his joy by wrapping his cranium in a "freaked out in a moon age daydream" poster.

Morty Comix # 2619

Morty Comix # 2619 was placed behind a clock in a home in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Morty Comix # 2618

Morty Comix # 2618 was slipped into a book by B. Kliban in the room where I stayed in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Morty Comix # 2616

Oh, the cards that we are dealt by Fate. Hey, I think I drew an entire comic on that premise, Cranium Frenzy # 9 back in 1998.

Anyway, Morty Comix # 2616 was folded up into a little square and squeezed into a box of playing cards at a home in Butler, Pennsylvania. Three other people were in the room as I performed this task but I managed to pull it off as my greatest card trick.

Morty Comix # 2615

Morty Comix # 2615 was placed inside of a fez in a home at Butler, Pennsylvania.

Morty Comix # 2612

Morty Comix # 2612 was drawn on the back of a bank form and placed inside a copy of Beastly Boys and Ghastly Girls by William Cole with illos by the great Tomi Ungerer.  It was due to Ungerer's presence here that I chose to use this book as my drawing "clipboard" cushioned by thin cardboard during my wonderful week in Butler, Pennsylvania. I think I drew about 50 Morty Comix during that magical week, which is more drawing than I have done in a long time. But I was with a very creative and inspirational group of people and actually had time to breathe.

Yes, I am left-handed. But I am also right-eyed, right-eared and right-nostriled. There's a great pun waiting to be born here, but I'm tired.

Anyway, I have been informed this particular Morty Comix has already been discovered.

Morty Comix # 2611

Morty Comix # 2611 was placed in an empty real estate brochure box in a strip mall at Butler, Pennsylvania. On the left hand side of this photo is an Asian buffet restaurant we used as the unofficial Obscuro dining HQ and discussion place several times. If I lived in Butler it would be a regular hangout for me.

Morty Comix # 2609

Morty Comix # 2609 was slipped into a copy of my favorite Vonnegut novel, Slaughterhouse-Five, at the public library in Butler, Pennsylvania. On the way to this book, Tom Rehm showed me the beautiful mural in the children's section created by his brother, Michael Rehm.
