R.I.P. DR. CREEP-Barry Lee Hobart (June 23, 1941 – January 14, 2011)

CLUBHOUSE 22

I feel sorry for today's TV generation.
They will never know the comfort of Uncle Al & Captain Wendy
Singing for you every morning and having you do the Twist on a tree stump for a box of Mama's cookies and a bottle of Barq's.

They will never will never feel the secret thrill of knowing Mister Moose is about to unleash a hell-storm of ping-pong balls unto Captain Kangaroo's head!

They have no Doctor Creep to guide them through a week's worth of Godzilla movies on Shock Theater.

No Joe Smith and Duffy the Dog to teach them traffic safety in between Tom & Jerry cartoons after school.

Here's to the forgotten local kiddie show hosts.

You'll always be remembered as a friend to me.

No matter what time.

No matter what channel.

The Revenge of Mysterio! (Seasholtz Comics Group circa 1982)

RUSSIANS, AMERICANS AND JAY

Okay, this is a children's book that I wrote as a class assignment in 1986 or 87. You can see that even back then I had a VERY LEFTIST point of view. My teacher didn't like it very much. She liked parts of it like the snapshots of Dad and Grampa but thought I oversimplified the politics and then "threw it all back in God's hands" at the end. In my defense, it was a children's book. Shouldn't it be SIMPLE? I think Dr. Suess would've liked it. In fact, I think the Butter Battle Book came out shortly after I finished this. I find it quite amusing and very 80's. I was such a little subversive!

If you dig really funny and disgusting cartoons then you will love JOHNNY RYAN of whom I've been a fan since he was putting out his own self-published comix that I would peddle at Quimby's in the late 90's. He has a weekly strip called Yucky Bleckarella and a comic book called Angry Youth and a very gory series of sci-fi wrestling books called PRISON PIT which looks like something a stoner would have drawn after reading a stack of HEAVY METAL magazines. He is a really savage satirist as well. I highly recommend COMIC BOOK HOLOCAUST it'll blow you mind! Check him out at-www.johnnyryan.com.
