Channel Surfing In The '80s

Maybe a nice dive into the Odd will help either shake things loose or tighten things up in the ol' noggin. 
Whichever it needs.

We may not have inter-dimensional cable, but we can maybe some inter-dementional video...


Yeah. I think that helped me.
How 'bout you?

Jimmy Wears Pink Too!

I mentioned yesterday that we'd be revisiting with folks who've appeared here previously. 'Folks' is used here to refer to creators, characters, and publications. Sounds much better than 'topics' to my inner ear.

To kick things off, let's welcome back Grass Green, making 3 Stooges with Mark Burbey and Eddie Eddings. I guess that works either way you read it. This one comes from RBCC #152...



Hmm...
Y'know, i don't think we've looked at Eddie Eddings yet...


We'll have to peek soon, eh?

Up next, we've got a one-shot Fly Girl, from Trina Robbins, no less. (How has Trina not appeared here yet? She's done some damned Odd things over the years.) 

At least, i think she's a one shot. There might have been some strips featuring her in The East Village Other, but i've only got maybe a half dozen issues and it's not exactly cataloged. This one pager comes from Gothic Blimp Works, which was published by the EVO back in 1968...



Trina's Sky Doll is not to be confused with Barbuci & Canepa's somewhat more famous Sky Doll, who has at least 3 books out there.


Now let's visit once again with a favorite of this blog (and of The 1940's Funny Animalphabet), that mysterious maker of madness - Ellis Chambers. This short tale is from a 1950 issue of Dizzy Duck (#32, for the curious who don't want to go all the way down to the credits notice), and so it belongs here and not there.



To wrap up our batch of bits & pieces, here's a lovely Ralph Bakshi based wrap-around cover from #149 of the Rocket's Blast Comic Collector from Wendy Pini -


Yeah - we need to run another batch of RBCC covers soon.

page art by Grass Green & Eddie Eddings, Trina Robbins, Ellis Holly Chambers, and Wendy Pini for RBCC #s 148, 149 & 152, Gothic Blimp Works #2, and Dizzy Duck #32 (1950, 1968, 1979, 1982)
