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!

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
