Dork #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The What And The Where!", a frustrated chimp named Mr. Chimpy faces a crisis: his local comic shop refuses to stock his favorite funny books. Enter Mr. Bunny, who offers a simple solution—order directly from the publisher—and delivers the advice with a dry wit that cuts through the chaos of bad shops and questionable service. Written and illustrated by Evan Dorkin, this 2002 issue from Slave Labor Graphics blends deadpan humor and cartoon absurdity in a story that’s as sharp as it is silly, with Dorkin handling every aspect of the interior art and lettering, and his distinctive style on full display in the cover pencils and inks.
In "As Seen On TV," Josh and Bill take on a shopping channel host who fumbles the names and origins of beloved comic book creators, turning a late-night pitch into a passionate defense of fandom. Written by a sharp satirical hand, the story captures the absurdity of pop culture misrepresentation with humor and heart.
In "The Invisible College Of Secret Knowledge," the Devil Puppet presides over a bizarre trio of tales—ranging from the absurdly whimsical to the darkly satirical—featuring the Spaghetti Kid, a chaotic Macy's balloon chase, and the unsettling legacy of Dr. Fredric Wertham. With sharp wit and a surreal edge, the story unfolds as a curio-filled cabaret of forgotten oddities, all delivered with a smirk.
In a delightfully absurd twist, a frustrated chimp named Mr. Chimpy faces the ultimate comic book crisis—his local shop won’t stock his favorite titles. Enter Mr. Bunny, who calmly explains the wonders of direct ordering from the publisher, bypassing the “swirling black pits of debt, filth and incompetence” that is the comic shop.
