Daily Comic Journal: June 17, 2023: “A Wacky Reference.”

Chapter:

For those of you who don’t get what I’m referencing here…

In the late 1960’s Hanna Barbara had a Saturday Morning carton called “Wacky Races”. Each episode featured a race with 11 unique vehicles and characters who drove them. One such vehicle was a 1927 Packard Touring Sedan called The Bulletproof Bomb and it was driven by 7 mini gangsters called The Ant Hill Mob.

The mob was led by Clyde and is composed of him, Ring-A-Ding, Rug Bug Benny, Mac, Danny, Kirby and Willy. They are sometimes preoccupied with getting caught by the police and are able to use “getaway power”, which involves all the gangsters (except for Clyde) extending their legs through the bottom of the car and running.

Wacky Racers was so popular that a few characters got spin off into their own cartoon. Penelope Pitstop, the only female racer of the group got her own show called “The Perils of Penelope Pitstop”. It was sort of a spoof of the old silent movie melodrama cliffhanger movie serials. Each episode would feature Penelope in peril and The Ant Hill Mob would (usually clumsily) try to save her.

My Artwork and Designs at Hasbro 1983 thru 1989

From November of 1983 through April of 1989 I was an artist/package/toy designer at Hasbro. During those 5 years I created and illustrated a lot of artwork on toy packaging, designed a toy line and illustrated many, many images that were used by licensors for a myriad of companies that wanted Hasbro characters on their products.

This past November I was a guest at the TF Con (Transformers Convention) in Baltimore. I printed a 56 page book that collected many of the designs and illustrations of the toys I worked on to sell at that convention. Along with all the artwork, I give background stories for all of these toys.

They include:

Transformers, G.I.Joe, Air Raiders, Battle Beasts, Army Ants, Inhumanoids, Visionaries, Cops n’ Crooks

I have copies of the book left from the show that you can buy here on my site. For just $20 plus $6 to cover shipping.

(And if you order before Christmas I’ll include free,  one of the personal Christmas cards I made and sent to family & friends over the years!)

Don’t be fooled by the date on the above comic, It was posted TODAY!

This is a DAILY comic, based on everyday of my life. Because of that, having to complete a comic every day and with the inability to get ahead by completing a bunch of comics ahead of time, it becomes very easy to fall behind.

You’ll note that the comic posted today is about ELEVEN months behind, but don’t let that fool you. It’s new and was posted today. I write notes at the end of each day, about what occurred in the previous 24 hours, so I have written material for every comic. Consider that a script.

So when you read the comic that talks about what happened to me on the date written on the comic, you’re assured that it actually happened. Albeit several months ago.

I have 10 years of comics archived (over 3,000) and if you haven’t read them yet, they’re new to you. I know that digging through past years of comics could be a pain, so to help you out I’ve broken down each year and a link that’ll take you directly to the January 1st comic of every year so you can begin reading each year from the beginning.

I’ve got Ten Years of Comics posted now…

If you’d like to read specific years you can start reading each year at the following links:

• February 17, 2010– I began my comics this year and to be truthful a lot of these early ones are pretty sloppy. BUT – this year I was involved in a car accident, my Uncle Al died as did my cat Oscar.

• 2011 – Was a roller coaster year. There was the good; I adopted Two Kittens and fell in love with Maria. But this year also was the year my father passed away.

• 2012 – Started well, but by the summer my heart was broken and I had to dive back into the dating world, again and again.

• 2013 – Began with the completed construction of my new Sun Room, had a colonoscopy and tried running for 365 straight days.

• 2014 – I met a woman who I thought might be the one, started playing Quizzo and began to be betrayed at work.

• 2015 – This year, well, it may well be the worst of my life.
