Retreads 13














1st edition, December 2005, 25 copies, white cover, regular digest size.

Trivia:

Cover, etc.: There are several images here from the final Morty Comix of the 20th century. Some of them were drawn in Kent, Columbus, and Worthington, Ohio during a business trip in November 1999. Interesting these should surface as I prepare to visit the Buckeye State again next month, but this time for fun-- SPACE!

Page 7: This was an unfinished story originally comprised of perhaps 4 pages. After I decided not to complete the thing I turned it into a Morty Comix.

Page 11: The gentleman with the flute is a portrait of John Barcellona and was used on a poster for an Olympia, Washington concert.

Page 12-13: A guide to Morty Comix originally compiled for OlyBlog.

Page 16-17: Clay Geerdes talked me into interviewing myself, but obviously I wasn't really in the mood at the time.

Page 20: In addition to this newspaper ad I also painted a big sign in color for Salt Creek Farm that had the same basic design as this panel. You can find the owners of this farm on pages 21-23 of How Two Ex-Presidents Went Up My Nose.

Pages 22-23: I miss Loafers in hardcopy and enjoyed drawing covers for them.

Retreads 10














1st edition, November 2005, 25 copies, white cover, regular digest size.

Trivia:

Page 6: I'm told I fell down some stairs when I was a small child in Spokane. This is a frequent dream image for me.

Page 12-13: This supposedly really happened to the brother of a friend of mine.

Page 18-19: Hey, you draw cartoons! Draw some posters for us! It'll only take a minute!

Page 20: A real knee-slapper in academic philosophy departments. I think the original art is still around here somewhere, but the felt tip is fading fast.

Page 21: The cataloger cartoon has made the rounds since it was originally published in PNLA Quarterly. I have seen it taped up on cubicle walls of catalogers from Ocean Shores, Washington to some little town in southeast Ohio. That copy of AACR2 is soon to be replaced by a new set of rules called RDA. We librarians love our acronyms.

Page 22-23: Two drawings of Wayno's character, Howie.
