Who you calling Dummy, dummy?

 

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 yet, you gotta get on that!  I'm gonna pore over this thing for the rest of the afternoon.

That's All, Folks!

 

Well, that's it.  I can officially retire from comic book collecting, because I did it.  I FUCKIN DID IT:

I finally completed my set of  Air Pirates Funnies.

Yes, I know about Dan O'Neill's Comics and Stories, and the Tortoise and the Hare, and Dirty Duck, and the Air Pirates newspaper, but I don't care. Like Ash Katchum, I caught them all.  

Stay tuned for this blog's new focus:  Collecting Loungefly backpacks.

I've always been fascinated by the psychedelic surf art of the great Rick Griffin. Here's some more of his Disney-inspired work:

Mickey Duck

Mickey Mouse Wants You (to die in Vietnam).

I had a photocopy of this Dylan Mouse on my bedroom wall all through high school.

This last image is from a really interesting article about the sixties and the symbolism of Mickey Mouse, a nice addendum to the Shary Flenniken talk at CXC.

This video takes a while to get going but it is worth it.

The Greatest Comic Book Collector In The World

Ladies and Gentlemen, today I would like to announce my retirement from comic book collecting, as I have just procured one of my personal Holy Grail comics:

Air Pirates Funnies #2!

So what if there's a hole in it, and a crease on the back cover, and I've already read it online a hundred times-  It's MINE!

A Pirate's Life For Me

Some (relatively) Safe-For-Work images from Air Pirates Funnies and Dan O'Neill's Comics and Stories.

 

What's another word for Pirate treasure?
