Found Loose in the Mail










Wash up! We're gonna worship the warship!

There's sort of a sub-genre of minicomix: Artwork previously published in other works and then reassembled and reprinted in the mini format.

Found Loose in the Mail was originally presented as a story in the digest-sized Limbolympia in 1983. The last four pages, Morty Comix #1629, had never seen print before, as with most of the Morty Comix series.

Hal Hargit (Dallas, Texas : Ozone Press) printed 100 of these things Jan. 3, 1987 under the series "Ozone Classic Reprint Series ; No. 1" and a second series "OZP ; no. 13."

An odd size, this comic is only 11 cm. at the spine.

I had the pleasure of meeting Hal around the same year as this comic was released, during a MU Press party in Seattle. Back in those days when we Newavers chiefly communicated through the US Postal Service, it was always great to have an opportunity to connect a real person with the pritned name.
