I see it now! Funny–and appropriate.
ROTFL guys…
And if any of you have a hundred bucks to throw around…
Gamera, I am a fan, but I wouldn’t pay a nickel for that thing. Lol.
Hey Tim… two things for you tonight.
-
You can stop thinking now. Get off your “stool” and back to practicing your mad scientist stuff. Practice makes perfect, you know.
-
You might be mildly happy to know that I lifted the Icarus out from the darkest corner of the basement and into the light. Then, I washed the resin dust out of the holes. This is the first step towards filling them. Baby steps,Tim. Baby steps.
Lastly, don’t go crazy thinking that I am gonna go gang busters on the thing. I hate this piece of [:#]
Believe it or not, I actuall y WANT THAT ! ( don’t think I could ever wear it tho… Great Pumpkin body, Small DR. Zaus face… That would scare small children for week’s ! )
Really !!! ??? you wouldn’t “toy” with my emotion’s , would you ???
That’ll teach it !!!
Oh my gosh… Too funny.
No, my friend. I wouldn’t toy with your emotions. It is true. Btw. Hate may have been a little strong. How about, strongly dislike this piece of [:#].
PS: I love this. Laughing.
I dug my comic books out.
Hey Tim. This looks like something you would have written. Did you write for these guys? LOL.
“I have seen the picture of Little Timmy in that costume” …
" I am NOT amused" !
You better watch it, man. They may cut out your brain!

The Graphics are cool… but Little Timmy’s “HACK” writing ruin’s the whole Comic for me !
Well, there is more. I will post them in the days ahead.
So then , they slipped me a “Mickey” and the next thing I remembered was trying to figure this thing out…

I told ya. Don’t mess with spock.
English is a strange language, doubly so for its native speakers.
“Mad Scientists” are mad like “Hatters” are “mad.”
In the olden days of haberdashery, quicksilver (e.g. mercury) alloys of inexact proportion to work felt for hats. Mercury toxicity then produced mental abberations which were collected under the single category “mad.”
OED tells us “mad” comes from Old English from Germani “gemäd” (ghe MAYD). The connotation of “mad” as angry reflects the split between British and American English useage. Although popular culture references have passed the mad = angry connotation back to Blighty. There’s at least one refernce that avers that the “mad as angry” gets its origin from forms of “temporary insanity,” which may have been manic episodes of bipolar disorder.
But, English is complicated that way. Try explaining “Throw the rough bough through enough into the rouge slough” to an non-English speaker.
Say, Capn. Do you want to know one of the things that I really like about you? That is a rhetorical question, I am going to tell you either way. What I like about you is your staying the course attitude. In the midst of chaos, you stay the course of sanity. Animated apes, exploding aliens, unhinged Spock, and you post a lesson in word usage. The train is exploding from impact, but you ride through it like it doesn’t exist. I am thoroughly convinced that Timmy and I will be laying on the ground, mortally wounded, buried in ape debree, whilst Capn travels on to the next train depot. Lol. This is not a knock, but a compliment. I will try to raise my arm and waive as you travel on. I am counting on you to make the next depot a better place. Remember us after we are gone. Lol.
Here is another issue:
Looking through these, a long-lost memory resurfaced. As far as comics go, and the stories therein, these kind of sucked. There were a few issues that are not too bad, but in general… pretty weak. In fact–they had a section in each comic where they published people’s letters. One guy slammed the writing. Seeing that letter is what made me remember. But–at the time, it was still a treat to read.
Check out the ad and the prices. I found an ad in one of the earlier issues that was selling the apes models for $2.50ea, and I think $.98 for shipping. Oh… the good old days.
