The Calvin Coolidge Song

Calvin Coolidge was a weirdo and sphinx

His policies gave our economy the jinx.

He was not exactly a shaker and mover

He helped cause the Great Depression

The world got the wrong impression

And everyone blamed Herbert Hoover.

 

The Herbert Hoover Song

When I was just a lad, in 1964

My Mom looked at the TV set

And recoiled in total horror.

A crabby looking pumpkin face

Had filled the TV set

"Oh my God, it's Herbert Hoover!

And he's not dead yet!"

Mr. Hoover was a wonder boy

And humanitarian

But he couldn't wrap his brain 

Around the mess that he was in.

In 1932 he was kicked out on his tush

And his name equated "failure"

Until that slot was filled

By George W. Bush

Cryogenic Comix # 6

1st edition, 1998, 15 copies, green cover, yellow guts, regular digest size.

1st Danger Room Reprint Edition, June 2005, 5 copies, all yellow, regular digest size.

There were two short comix I drew in the early 1980s: Fun in Acapulco and Pacemaker Defect. I can tell some of these drawings were prep work for stories in one or both of those titles. Arnie Wormwood shows up on 3 pages here. The gentleman with the beard and glasses is Dean True, who was once a neighbor to one of Ernest Borgnine's ex-wives. Page 7 has, for reasons I have long since forgotten, drawings of Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover. That's Al Capone on the bottom of page 6.
