1st edition, 1985, Pullman, Washington, 70 copies, grey cover, enlarged digest. For some reason I printed these in 1985, but held them for a few months into 1986 before distributing them. If I recall I think I timed it so several new comix were released at the same time. It really wasn't scarlet fever.
2nd edition, February 1986, Pullman, Washington, 30 copies, yellow cover, enlarged digest. I've scanned and posted this edition here, but included the original page [2] from the 1st ed. at the end.
Available as a print-on-demand title, 1994-1996 in regular digest size.
Special Fandom House Edition, 20 copies, September or October 1994, regular digest size. Fandom House put in a special order for hundreds of dollars worth of reprinting many titles. Oddly, none of these have ever subsequently shown up in eBay or Rick Bradford's
Poopsheet Shop as far as I know.
1st Danger Room Reprint Edition, June 2005, 5 copies, pink cover, regular digest size.
I wish I could provide some trivia background for this one, but it was drawn during my most prolific period, so it doesn't stand out in my memory. It was during the high tide of Reaganism, when America slipped and fell into the loony pit, and where, as the Tea Baggers have shown us, we remain.
But not to pick just on the Right. I find that vigorous political enthusiasts on both sides have a severe humor deficit. Recently one Olympia activist criticized a rival progressive newspaper in part because it "celebrates frivolity" and was too "lowbrow." Holy elitism, Batman! It appears my quarter century-old comic must have some universals in there that can still be applied today.
Yes, that's my self-portrait on page 22.
The inscription on page [2] still holds true. A free
Morty Comic to the first person who translates it!
