Morty Comix # 2628

Morty Comix # 2628 was tucked into a copy of Cat Fancy while Buster was waiting to get his flea allergy shot in Olympia, Washington. I noticed that all the upholstery on the chairs had zillions of little tiny cat claw pinprick holes.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Pocket Money

"Y'know, they say that every man has a star. And a guy should find his star out there. Unless he doesn't have one. Which just may be the case with me. And if what they're sayin' is right, guys could just follow their stars. But not me because I don't have one."

The critics panned this one but I think they were wrong. I saw this in the movie house when it was first released in 1972 and it has remained one of my favorites. Brilliant, quirky, quietly comedic.

A new entry in my series on discarded portable dental floss, this was found in a parking lot in Butler, Pennsylvania.

I love the way the white reflection makes this disgusting thing sort of glow against the surface, almost as if it was a heaven-sent object.

Morty Comix # 2627 was slid behind a decorative panel on the entrance to a now defunct restaurant in Tumwater, Washington. Since I placed this Morty Comix, vandals have torn off the panel on the left. In fact, it seems pieces of this building are destroyed on a daily basis by marauding gangs of defunct restaurant destroyers.

This particular building has a place in Washington State history. It was the headquarters of Jazz musician Red Kelly and his OWL (Out With Logic - On With Lunacy) Party, which ran for all the statewide offices in 1976.

Morty Comix # 2625 was carefully slid between the covering and the box itself supporting a model of the French warship Napoleon on display in an Asian cuisine restaurant, Tumwater, Washington. This operation required dedication and precision timing.

The Franklin Pierce Song

Frank listened to a silver penguin

He told him what it was all about

He talked of pink fish that wore green hats

He said he heard it from a trout

Then Pierce was elected President

But the penguin's words only brought pain

Frank let Kansas get bloody

And his single term went down the drain
