This jam with the amazing Tennessee cartoonist Bob X was published in 1986 by Starhead Comix. I can't recall how the whole thing came about. It could've been instigated by Bob, myself, or Starhead's Michael Dowers.
Bob's crowded, hectic style really filled up the comic visually and gave it some juice, which was nice since I'm pretty much a minimalist. The use of shading film must've been all Bob, since I haven't used the stuff since the 1970s. I think Bob was also the one who set up the nice centerspread layout.
Notice the nod to our cartoon comrade John E. in the first panel.
Pod and Morty are two characters who should probably not hang out together too often. There aren't enough National Guard soldiers around to handle the two of them combined.
