Rip Off Comix #20
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Top Level Meeting," the Max Headroom-inspired Jesus H. Christ commandeers Jimmy Braggart’s television show, using every screen in the studio to confront him—then expands his reach, seizing video feeds worldwide to deliver a message that’s as unsettling as it is unforgettable. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Larry Todd, this surreal 1988 satire blends biting social commentary with the eerie spectacle of media omnipresence, all rendered with a sharp, self-contained energy. The cover by Harry Robins captures the electric tension of the moment, a visual echo of the chaos unfolding within.
In "Them Ther Cutesy-Pie Li'l Ol' Elves in the Majic Forest," Sammy and his merry elf crew are abruptly hijacked mid-adventure when Uncle Joe commandeers the page, flipping the tone with a jarring title change to "Hey Kidskis What Time is It..??" — a surreal twist that turns a whimsical forest tale into a satirical punchline.
In "Pearlygate Papers," the Max Headroom-inspired Jesus H. Christ crashes Jimmy Braggart’s TV show, commandeering every screen in the studio—and then every screen on Earth—to deliver a message that’s as shocking as it is absurd. Written with satirical flair, this 1988 four-pager turns the broadcast medium into a battleground of irony and spectacle.
