$100 - Original Art - Chow Time

"Chow Time" originally appeared in Dog of Dawn, Dog of Dusk in 1985.

4 pages, 11.5 x 9 inches. Nonphoto blue pencil and felt tip on light bond. I find a tiny spot of whiteout on the top left corner of the final page. The art is in very good condition.

Morty Comix # 2477

Morty Comix # 2477 will be sent to whoever pledged 60 bucks to the Bezango WA movie kickstarter campaign.

I am putting it in a special envelope with a Morty portrait recognizing the occasion. For you collectors, I should point out the Morty Comix series is rather unusual in that it is not the oldest issues from almost 30 years ago that are super rare, it is the newest set from number 2279 onward that will be the most difficult to track down. This series is Obscuro Comix in action for real. Quite liberating from my point of view.


I'm offering two more issues for the campaign and there are still a couple days left to pledge. Ron and Louise are creating a great project worthy of support for anyone who enjoys the comic art form.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Mutiny on the Bounty (1962)

"I believe I did what honor dictated and that belief sustains me, except for a slight desire to be dead, which, I'm sure, will pass."

Buttons - Comic Art - 1980s?

Starhead Comix

When I compared this to the previous Starhead button I realized the images were actually quite different, and that they were probably made one at a time, each image on each button applied directly.  Pretty amazing. I wonder how many were made like this?

Buttons - Comic Art - 1980s?

Starhead Comix

Looks like this was baked on to some sort of clay. Also, as a subsequent button will show, I am guessing this image was hand made and not the result of mass production.

A very strange building that used to be a quite creepy looking Masonic Temple. It was recently cleaned up and is now a denture place, or something like that. South Bend, Washington.

Morty Comix # 2473

Morty Comix # 2473 was drawn into the sand at the ocean beach, Seaview, Washington. The wind was so incredibly strong that it was more of a threat to the art than the incoming tide!

I have to admit this one is sort of a mystery to me. I have a vague memory this was issued to me as an attendee of some kind of comic event, but beyond that I cannot say. Anyone recognize it?
