It's a weird world after all.
I am home sick with Captain Trips, so I took the opportunity to finally read this oddity I came across recently: a funny-animal detective story by William Van Horn! $2.00 for a black and white comic in 1988 sounds a little steep, no? If you have heard of Blackthone Publishing before, it was probably for their licensed 3-D comics (Star Wars, GI Joe, etc), but they were a real publisher of original…
Steamboat Willy rubber hose style video game Mouse: PI For Hire
Good news, everyone! Mickey Mouse is back in comic shops (along with Donald Duck and Uncle $crooge)! If you were a fan of the IDW series , like I was, you will want to pick these up, because it's basically the same comic book. Edited by David Gerstein, a mix of old and new stories never before printed in the US, and an emphasis on the classic Gottfredson villains. We've got a Casty Phantom Blot…
MAGA Protests Disney By Buying Tickets To Disneyland
DinoLand USA is RIP
I updated the layout to this rickety old blog for the first time in many, many years. I liked the old minimalist look, but this layout looks better on a phone IMO and makes it easier to tell links apart from regular old text. If you don't like it I don't care,
NEW DEFUNCTLAND JUST DROPPED

Yeah but what about all the actors who WEREN'T cult leaders???
Disney's The Trouble With Boys via Comics Beat
Well it looks like Michael Eisner shamed them into doing the right thing, but depending on where you live it might not matter anyway.
Thank Rao that Mickey Mouse belongs to the people now, so we no longer need to support t his spineless, hopeless, heartless, brainless, dickless, fat-assed, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit corporation.
It's Christmas in July, Mouseketeers, because the highly anticipated new issue of Dummy Zine is out, and it's all about The Mouse! Air Pirates, Rat Fink, Mickey Rat, Mad Magazine, Kaz- this is the magazine I've been waiting for! You can have your own copy of the notorious Wally Wood poster, if you wanted to tear out the pages. Back cover ads, just like a real comic! If you haven't ordered yours…
Mickey Mouse and the Amazing Lost Ocean is a steampunk sci-fi comic by Denis-Pierre Filippi and Silvio Camboni . As with many European sci-fi comics the story doesn't make a lot of sense, but the visuals are incredible. The colors by Gaspard Yvan and Jessica Bodart take it to another level. I got this book from the library and read it in like ten minutes, but then spent close to an hour lingering…
Hey let's all make fun of Adrian Brody's cruddy art
How the Nazis' top interrogator was hired to work on Disney theme parks
I read another comic published this decade! Dynamite's Duck Tales #1 It was....okay. I was not familiar with any of the creative team prior to buying this comic. The writer, Brandon Montclare, has some Marvel credits under his belt, while the artist has worked on the Geronimo Stilton comics. The art is appealing and easy to look at. The character designs kind of split the difference between Duck…
In which Disney Weirdness takes a look at a recent-ish comic book I have been eagerly purchasing all of the Marvel Disney books as they are released, and then stacking them up in a pile and not reading them. After consulting with the learned members of the esteemed Feathery Society , I decided to jump in with what is considered by experts to be the best of the lot, Uncle Scrooge and the Infinity…
I'm about three-quarters of the way through Crumb: A Cartoonist's Life by Dan Nadel. It's really good, highly recommended. Reading it doesn't make me feel like I missed out on "the sixties" so much, but it does make it seem like it was a great time to be involved in comics fandom. As kids Crumb and his brother collect Carl Barks and Walt Kelly comics obsessively and contribute to comics fanzines.…
Good news, The Sincerest Form of Parody is back in print from Fantagraphics! I borrowed the heck out of this from the library when it first came out. If you were a fan of the Russ Cochrane Mad and Panic collections back in the day then you should love this.
