Gangrene, The Bunny Mummy

Image
 Easily the saddest comic character ever created, the Bunny Mummy is pitiful.  In the one story I have read he begs a magician for a cure, the guy refuses because the bunny is broke.  I have always felt bad for a creature that must be completely desiccated and still alive.   Gangrene is part of Vaughn Bode's Deadbone, a mountain inhabited by some very strange creatures.  Bode spelled the bunny's name both ways, Gangrene and Gangreen. Plastic resin kit from Nepenthes Productions, sculpted by Michael Waltz. http://www.bucwheat.com/sl/bode/bode.htm     Can you imagine, that pile of (?) wanted me to give him a free good luck rune!!!    Here is the episode I spoke of.  The little mummy can only say, 'I want, I am, You help'.  At the end he is siting in some glade when a gang of ruffians show up.  This is the best, no, the only reproduction I could find, and I put it in here to show how cold blooded Vaughn Bode could be....

 For years Janos Prohaska was Hollywood's go to animal suit man. Take The Money And Run The Cookie Bear, the Andy Williams show. https://youtu.be/jmBVe2gzJy0    The Outer Limits, The Probe, 1965. Star Trek, Devil In The Dark, 1967. An animal lover, fittingly enough.  One of the few times Prohaska did appear on TV and show his face wasn't for any hairy role he'd accepted, but on the game show What's My Line?  In that episode, he arrives as a contestant in a gorilla suit like you'd expect, but removes the suit once it's time to start playing.    Star Trek again, A Private Little War. Some TV show. Outer Limits, The Sixth Finger.  1963 Land Of The Giants, 1968.  Boy, did this show suck.  And - we had to walk to the TV and manually change channels with a dial.  How long must my people suffer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janos_Prohaska Debbie the Bloop, Lost In Space, 1965.

 Movie poster for Rhubarb,The Millionaire Tomcat.  Rhubarb was played by Orangey, the most famous and the meanest actor cat of them all. https://catsinfilm.tumblr.com/post/180429408180/orangey-the-cat-was-a-tabby-cat-that-was-known-for   Rhubarb was written by H. Allen Smith.  Dell Books.   One more.  Pete Hawley was in huge demand, known for his Jantzen Swimwear ads.  But he has a lot of anthro animals in his quiver as well. When I was growing up I would see this guy's work everywhere. I was dressed much like this cat the day Kennedy was shot just a few miles away.  To me this is a sad picture.  These two kids, natural enemies, are having harmless fun while watching a morality play television show about clear cut good and evil.  They are visibly excited and will sleep very soundly tonight.  Damn few kittens and almost no mice find homes, let alone such a wonderful one as depicted here.  This will always be a pleasant if va...

Saved By The Bell!

 The big cat is still alive at the end of the lightning match, so Flamma loses.  That the cat will be dead in seconds is not important, this is a betting event.  Flamma cost his owner a huge sum today, as he is too valuable to maim or kill he will have to watch his only friend Ferro be flogged to death in order to motivate him to greater efforts in the future.  Leaving the rabbit alive is the biggest mistake Flamma's owner will ever make.  It's not like the bunny is well adjusted to begin with, and now his considerable cruelty and determination are focused on just one thing.  Shame about that guy's wife and children.

  Sam and Max are Freelance Police.   Theater of the absurd. The best description of these two is 'enthusiastic'. Sam & Max are by Steve Purcell, from an idea by his brother Dave. I gotta read more of this. Now this is humor. Superior.  Oh, and it sure looks to me like Mr. Purcell is a Jack Davis fan.    This should be a lot better known. I just love the classics.
