Dolly In Freudland!

Dolly Comics, no. 10.  Can you say Sigmund Freud, kids? 


Hi Guys!

I've got something extra weird for you today!  I'm talkin' about Dolly Comics number 10, put out by the Ziff-Davis publishing company back in July-August, 1951!  Now I know what you're thinking -- "What's this got to do with anthro?"  Well, the answer is "not much," except that in this offbeat comic you'll see some of the strangest anthropomorphic characters ever.  

See, Dolly is a toy, a doll to be exact.  And she's got this wind-up dog, Charlie, for a sidekick.  Together thay have all kinds of bizarre adventures.  In this particular issue, Dolly finds herself in Dreamland: 

Anthropomorphic tree -- OK, I've seen that before.  But the question mark?

The Freudian weirdness kicks in strong, right off the bat!  Dolly and Charlie have stumbled across a "pickles 'n ice-cream tree."  Dolly sure as anything looks like she's going to have a baby in that first panel, so she has no problem chowing down on that tree's messed-up fruit!

But in that last panel, Question-Mark Guy loses his poo-poo!  Wait, did I say "Question-Mark Guy?"  Yep, that's right!  This is the first and I bet the only time you'll ever see an anthropomorphic punctuation mark! 

I'd say Charlie the phallic-looking dog dreamed it up...
 

So Question Mark Guy tells Dolly and Charlie that they have opened some kind of portal to hell by eating of the forbidden fruit!  Yep!  The Nightmare is on its way.  Heck, if you're the reader, I'd say the nightmare is already here!

That's it, Dolly.  Jump into the freaky tree's mouth...

Sure enough, the Nightmare shows up and starts chasing Dolly and Charlie.  Or maybe I should rephrase that:  The Nightmare's nose starts chasing Dolly and Charlie.  Is it just me, or does that nightmare's "nose" look like it has syphilis?  Anyhow, our terrified duo barely escapes by diving into the pickles 'n ice cream tree's mouth. 

Out of the frying pan and into the fire!  It's Killdozer!!


The Nightmare blows on by and lucky for our heroes, because the tree isn't having it!  He spits them right back out!  After telling Dolly and Charlie to stick it (get it? "stick" it?  ha ha ha!), the tree zips up its mouth.  Then along comes this anthropomorphic bulldozer!  Man!  This is getting weirder by the second!

Killdozer?  He's a sissy!


Dolly thinks that the big, tough bulldozer might be able to help them out, but it turns out that the mean machine is a tin-plated coward! 

Hoo-boy.  What do I say about this that won't get me into trouble??


Before Dolly and Charlie can catch their breath, the Nightmare is back!  Looks like he means business this time, too!  Dolly tries to fend him off, but it's no good!  The monster just transforms into something even more hideous.  Doll and dog take off running, but the Nightmare follows, growing bigger and more swollen  the faster they run! 

That's right, Dolly.  Slam that Nightmare into that even bigger phallic thing.

Luckily, our intrepid pair happen upon a pair of "dweam throwers."  They look kind of like rocket ships.  Or maybe I should say condoms!  I think Dolly's pickles 'n ice cream troubles are just about over!  --Whatever a dweam thrower actually is, I'd say it's pretty handy for catching nightmares! 

Choke on this, you POS tree!

Seems that Dolly's not happy just keeping the Nightmare in that rocket-ship thing.  She's got to make the pickles 'n ice cream tree pay!  I'm sure Dr. Freud would have all kinds of things to say about displacement and such, but the long and the short of it is that Dolly locks that Nightmare up, apparently forever, inside that pesky tree.  I don't know about you, but that padlock reminds me of a medieval chastity belt!  And I gotta tell ya, that zipper only increases my anxiety!    

Well, here at Hybrid, we don't flinch away from stuff when it makes us sick!  But guys, I've had enough of Dolly and her dumb dreams!  After this, I think I need to see a therapist!

That's all for now -- See you later!

Father's Last Escape

It happened in the late and forlorn period of complete disruption, at the time of the liquidation of our business. The signboard had been removed from over our shop, the shutters were halfway down, and inside the shop my mother was conducting and unauthorized trade in remnants. Adela had gone to America, and it was said that the boat on which she had sailed had sunk and that all the passengers had lost their lives. We were unable to verify this rumour, but all trace of the girl was lost and we never heard of her again.  A new age began - empty, sober and joyless, like a sheet of white paper. A new servant girl, Genya, anaemic, pale, and boneless, mooned about the rooms. When one patted her on the back, she wriggled, stretched like a snake, or purred like a cat. She had a dull white complexion, and even the insides of her eyelids were white. She was so absent-minded that she sometimes made a white sauce from old letters and invoices: it was sickly and inedible.  At that t

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible!

Roller Ball Murder

The game, the game: here we go again. All glory to it, all things I am and own because of Roller Ball Murder. Our team stands in a row, twenty of us in salute as the corporation hymn is played by the band. We view the hardwood oval track which offers us the bumps and rewards of mayhem: fifty yards long, thirty yards across the ends, high banked, and at the top of the walls the cannons which fire those frenzied twenty-pound balls-similar to bowling balls, made of ebonite-at velocities over three hundred miles an hour. The balls careen around the track, eventually slowing and falling with diminishing centrifugal force, and as they go to ground or strike a player another volley fires. Here we are, our team: ten roller skaters, five motorbike riders, five runners (or clubbers). As the hymn plays, we stand erect and tough; eighty thousand sit watching in the stands and another two billion viewers around the world inspect the set of our jaws on .multivision. The runners, those bastards
