comic books can be weird
This is the weirdest one. It is published by Goodwill (the thrift store). It features four rats, each with a different disability – blind ,deaf, epileptic, and the one in the flying chair has had his legs amputated. Plus they use yo-yo’s as weapons.
This one is hard to describe. There is a space ship that builds toys for the universe, and the only competitor is a toy company on a planet run by an evil clown. The evil clown has killer clown robots attack the space ship and kill the chief toy maker in order to gain control of the toy market. Meanwhile on earth a super hero raccoon is called to sort the crime out and punish the evil clown. It gets weirder too.
So often the ads in comic books are comics themselves. What a totally bizarre ad. I love in the second panel, the guy says “He’s taking stuff off our hands without even bargaining.” Did this make any sense to kids?
I saved the best for last.
i’ll bet a pothead working at goodwill was inspired by the rats in everything. besides, as weird as it is, by posting it, you just brought it back from thedead and gave it a second life.

Did a little research on the rats (Good summary here http://enablelink.snow.utoronto.ca/include/article.php?aid=615&cid=&pid=&subid=) because I wanted to know if Jay Piscopo was any relation to Joe Piscopo. Doesn’t look like any close relationship, there. Anyhow, I was surprised to find that the white rat is the deaf one. If I were deaf, I sure wouldn’t wear my hair in a manner that obstructed my vision. Of course, I don’t have Ratsense like this guy does so maybe it’s all moot.
