Goodbye to Apollo's Pizza

One of my fave pizza places has closed up, I am sorry to say. Apollo's on Olympia's Westside made some of the best pizzas I have ever had. I even hid a couple Morty Comix there as well as phone photoed a discarded portable dental floss by their front door, so the joint had some history here on Morty the Blog.

This picture was taken a year ago when I hid a Morty Comix in that bench facing the camera.

Thanks for all the good memories, Apollo's. One of my best recollections was around 2007 when there was a bad storm and the power went out. Ian had a bicycle helmet headlamp he lent to you guys so you could continue working in the kitchen since the ovens remained hot and we all ate by candlelight.

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.

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.
