Cryogenic Comix # 21

Felt tip on thin bond, probably drawn in 1980. I was living in the Ballard neighborhood in Seattle at the time. You can see the more modern version of Morty the Dog taking shape in this batch.

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.

September 1979 - pt. 1
This little spiral notebook was filled with drawings in Sept. 1979 when I lived in Burlington, Vermont. These were actually perforated index cards but I created the images on the blank side with various widths of felt tip.
An unnamed Morty the Dog shows up.

The Comix Files: Rick "Ricko" Bradford
Drawn by Dave Tosh
Looks like a jam from a comix convention
Rick Bradford of Texas first contacted me in 1992 during the City Limits Gazette days. Although his comix art is wonderful and sparky, we all know Rick as the genius behind Poopsheet, at first a hardcopy resource but it evolved into one of THE most important online resources for creators and collectors of Newave, homemade, zine-like comix. Such energy. The guy must be a strange visitor from another planet with powers above and beyond that of mortal men.
