Frankenberry, Boo Berry and Count Chocula gets put out every Halloween. Not sure if they hit all markets or not. You learn something useless every day.
Hey there, I'm new here but I've been into comics since the mid 80's.
I'm not sure if you're the actual Evan Dorkin (hope you are) but from what I read in other pages you seem to know a lot.
I have a question that's off-topic but I don't how to navigate this site yet.
I'm having a debate with some friends as to what Mxy destroys/recreates in World's Funnest. One side says 3 Multiverses ... the other says 1 Multiverse.
Our discussion revolves around the end when Mxy states:
"no more Infinite Earths" "no more Alternate Universes' "no more Pats or Futures"
So again, one side equates this to 3 separate Multiverses (Infinite Earths = 1 ... Alternate Universes = 2 ... Pasts/Futures = 3)
While the other equates this to a Multiverse of Infinite Earths, which are Alternate Universes or variations of Prime Earth logically with Pasts and Futures.
I'd really appreciate your thoughts, and if you're Dorkin himself, then the answer. :)
I didn't give any of that any thought, to be honest. The lines you mention have more to do with summing up the situation/Mxy's frustration than figuring out or worrying about how the alternate worlds/universes/dimensions all worked. That stuff's pretty nuts and that was an obvious point of the comic. I just treated every dimension or world as a place for the characters to travel to, mess with, and destroy. Organizing it all was enough work, I wasn't trying to understand it.
Excellent Charles Schultz/Haiku/Post cereal monsters mash-up, this is why we are Team Dorkin in Richmond, VA- pick up the Milk & Cheese book at Stories, DHP at Nostalgia Plus, and more at Velocity Comics- old Slave Labor Graphics supporters from the git. Do they have the fruit roll-up versions of Frankenberry, et al., up Satan Island way, speaking of vomit?
Haven't seen the Fruit Roll-Ups (sounds like a wrestling move) but I've never been a roll-up fan, so who knows. Roll-ups are like eating flavored plastic wrap. Couldn't even do that in my prime.
