Postcard - Athens, Greece

"Athens - Partial View and Lycabette."

1970s

What an amazing place Greece must be. It is somewhat disconcerting that Morty the Dog has actually been there while I remain stateside. I would love to visit someday.

An Anonymous Tipster Shares a Discovery


This image was in my email yesterday with only one simple message:

"Tacoma dome bus station. Thought you should know."

Postcard - Batavia, Dutch East Indies

"Batavia, Hotel des Indes in vogelvlucht"

Probably later half of 1940s.

Morty Comix # 2666 - Updated!






Morty Comix # 2666 is the final installment in this run of Buzz Buzzizyk enhanced Mortys. The original was sent to Buzz in Butler, Pennsylvania. Before enhancing it with color and text he made a "bootleg" practice copy (above). I know where he intended to drop off the final version of this one, but mum's da woid!

As usual, the mysterious hand of Borpo Deets is present.

This was a fun collaboration and in a way I feel like it extended my wonderful visit to Western Pennsylvania by a couple months! It has been fun seeing how Buzz has a talent for bringing the four random images together with a theme in all of these.

Postcard - Paris, France


"Paris. -- Panorama sur les sept Ponts."

Morty Comix # 2664 - Updated!






Morty Comix # 2664 was sent to Buzz Buzzizyk in Butler, Pennsylvania. He souped up the original with text and color and then "distributed" it somewhere. But before he did, he made a "bootleg" copy for practice (shown above).

I don't know where Buzz placed this one, but I see he had help from the mysterious Borpo Deets.

The Fab Four Flake Out

Morty Comix # 2662 - Updated!






Morty Comix # 2662 was sent to Buzz Buzzizyk in Butler, Pennsylvania. He made a draft "bootleg" copy (above) to practice color and dialogue enhancement before enhancing the original. The final version was sent to the Kindlin' Quarterly folks in Columbus, Ohio.

It is fitting this issue should be posted today, on Halloween.

As usual, Borpo Deets lurks.

Morty Comix # 2660 - Updated






Morty Comix # 2660 was sent to Buzz Buzzizyk in Butler, Pennsylvania. Before he added color and text to the original, he made a draft bootleg copy (pictured above).  So what happened to the final version? Even I don't know. As usual, Borpo Deets lurks in the background of this piece.
