I don't think I ever realized he did the art on these either. Learn something new everyday. <BR/><BR/>Big Boy (aka Shoney's) was our favorite family place to eat on Friday nights here in St Louis (the all you can eat fried shrimp bar!) It closed down a long time ago, but while I was living in LA for the last 12 years we constantly frequented the Bob's Classic in Toluca Lake... the food was just as I remembered it. They still have car hop service too on weekends. Walls were covered with old menus from the 50's and 60's.

Talk about flimsy artwork. I don't like everything Stallman did, but I like this story for its sheer funkiness, illogical plot, dopey-looking monster, and irrational-acting characters. Roger Corman shoulda made a movie out of it. It seems like a storyboard for a '50s sci-fi flick.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-16881809986867731982008-01-28T13:12:00.000-08:002008-01-28T13:12:00.000-08:00Boy...talk about searing hot IRONY---!Boy...talk about searing hot IRONY---!cartoonjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780256430093956974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-26748140574461238022008-01-28T08:05:00.000-08:002008-01-28T08:05:00.000-08:00I've almost posted this one a few times myself.

Manny's inked splash is really clean and slick and alot better than some of his other work which can be frustratingly flimsey at times.Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.com
