Newt Gingrich is more Disgusting Than a Big Piece of Snot

Some of you might be too young to remember that Newt Gingrich was, when he was at his peak, a low-down, lying, ethically challenged, sewage-spewing, petty, hypocritical psychopath who contributed nothing positive to our country during his destructive ego spree as Speaker of the House in the 1990s. Much of the current toxic tone of our national discourse rests on the shoulders of this moron. He comes across as an intellectual in his presentation, but any of my four cats are more qualified to be President.

I documented his political standing back then. The premise, in my 1996 comic Mukey the Mutant Membrane was that Newt was among the items even more disgusting than a giant walking talking wad of snot. I still stand by this comparison.

Every action he has taken since 1996 and subsequent to his disgraceful exit from public life only confirms my view. It doesn't matter whether you are a liberal, or conservative, libertarian, socialist, whatever-- Newt Gingrich is no damn good. I wouldn't let this sleazebag enter my house.

A bag. Of sleaze. Try to imagine it. Oozing. That's Newt.

So, of course, he's become a front runner in the Republican Party primary. It figures.

Mukey the Mutant Membrane

I'm trying hard not to get a cold today. How fitting to be posting this, of all comix.

1st edition was available as a print-on-demand comic in 1996, I'm guessing about 100 copies out there. This and following editions are regular digest size.

Special ultra-rare goldenrod edition, 3 copies, 1999. Entirely goldenrod.

1st Danger Room Reprint edition, July 2005, 5 copies, green (of course)

This book was used as a vehicle to explore my always uncomfortable relationship with capitalism. I figured using this big piece of snot would be too disgusting for anyone to take seriously as a commercial character. After all, I invented Mukey about 1972-1973 and he hadn't gained much of an audience in all those years.

I was wrong. I think Mucinex should pay me a royalty for their Mr. Mucus character. Another example of the mainstream catching up to us obscuro guys.

Mukey has been a supporting character in many comix over the years, but this is the only comic where he is the focus. I keep hoping one day my brother, Bryan, will write a play about Mukey. A musical. And then it will be turned into a movie. And then the franchise rights will ...

Oh.

See? See what this character does to my thinking? He's dangerous.

Trivia:

Pages 12-15 are entirely true. Page 15 anticipated the publication of Sean Tejaratchi’s Kool Man.

Back cover and inside back cover. My daughter Rose felt that Mukey was "disgusting" while Gumby was "refreshing." Personally, I always thought Gumby was terrifying.

Attached is a photo of her art piece, made at the same as this comic, "Mukey and Gumby in a fight (and Morty)." Gumby says: "I could beat you any day in looks" Mukey replies: "Ya. You wish." Morty observes: "Can't you to be quiet. I need to think!"
