Cryogenic Comix # 19
Copyright (c) 2019 Steve Willis
The first 18 issues of this series was originally published in 1998 and followed with a 2005 Danger Room edition. I will be creating subsequent issues here on this blog as a strictly online title.
The following pieces were created probably in mid-1980, judging by the depiction of what life was like around here after Mt. St. Helens erupted May 18, 1980. The drawings are felt tip on thin bond.
One detail about this particular 1979-1980 trove I had forgotten about, there was also a Morty the
Bear character. Morty the Dog's first solo story was not until 1981 and the earliest drawing of "Mortie" the Dog I can locate is ca. 1978, but it looks like I was also trying out another type of Morty.
I always liked the name "Morty." Lenny Bruce employed the name in his stand-up with a comic punch and that's probably how I came to use it since I did not know anyone by that name.
