Favorite Movie Quotes: Macbeth

"I have liv'd long enough: my way of life
Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf;
And that which should accompany old age,
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have; but, in their stead,
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath,
Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not."

Morty Comix # 2469

Morty Comix # 2469 slid very well behind the coat closet mirror of my tiny trailer at the Sou'wester at Seaview, Washington. It was actually quite a comfortable place, but then again there was only one of me staying there.

For the first time since Prohibition ended, McCleary has no tavern. This particular spot has always been a tavern since 1950, but it has been vacant now for a few months.

Perhaps now that Washington State has legalized pot, this spot could be a retail store for that purpose!

$175 - Original Art - Slim Chance and Fat Fate

The art for "Slim Chance and Fat Fate," the only story from the 1986 comic Storm Warnings that I like.

Set in Eastern Washington State, the visual metamorphosis tale includes Mukey the Mutant Membrane, porcupines, Orville, Thelma, a Morty the Dog coin, a deranged Mr. Zip, truck drivers, and the Acme Correspondence School of Bullfighting.

Felt tip on nonphoto blue, heavy stock paper is uneven, generally measuring 12 x 9.5 in. Seven pages. Some slight discoloration on the top non-art margins of p. 1-2. Page 1 title is actually taped on, which is strange since it doesn't appear to be covering anything. I detect a small amount of whiteout on page 5, panel 6.

$175 ppd.

Morty Comix # 2468

Morty Comix # 2468 was slipped inside a videocassette container with the movie Sunset Blvd., at the Sou'wester VHS library, Seaview, Washington. My nephew Zach was with me during this caper.

Bay Center, Washington

Morty Comix # 2467

Morty Comix # 2467 was placed inside a book with selected works of Marlowe and Shakespeare. I placed it on the page that had one of my fave quotes from Macbeth:

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The book was then returned to the shelves of the Sou'wester in Seaview, Washington

Morty Comix # 2466

Morty Comix # 2466 was left at a deserted house that looks like it could've been used in a Northwest version of The Blair Witch Project. This was close to the Mid-Nemah River, Pacific County, Washington.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Anzio

"Why do we do it? Why do people kill each other? How can a perfectly ordinary good natured guy who wouldn't slap down a mosquito sit up in an airplane and bomb a thousand sleeping strangers down  beneath him?"

The Hostess rack is nearly empty as sugar addicts get their fix. Notice the caution sign!

No more Twinkie Weiner sandwiches!

Dog Walk Dog 2

I drew a page for the just published anthology, Dog Walk Dog 2, and in the course of doing so realized how rusty I am at drawing stories.

The comic includes work by August Lipp, Jason T. Miles, Ben Horak, Patrick Keck, Karissa Sakumoto, Marc Palm, Max Clotfelter, Tom Van Deusen, Kelly Froh, and Aidan Fitzgerald.

Tom Van Deusen is the editor and publisher. I believe he is selling this for 5 bucks, ppd.

Buttons - Comic Art - 1989

Although the image was drawn in 1989, I think the button itself might have been produced at a later date.
