Steel-Belted Grimmy #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the earliest comic strips from the short-lived 1988 series Steel-Belted Grimmy, a satirical newspaper strip by artist Michael Fry. The strip follows the misadventures of Grimmy, a dim-witted but lovable dog, as he interacts with a cast of familiar pop-culture icons and classic characters. The volume captures the late-80s humor and parody style that defined Fry's work before his later success with 'Over the Hedge.'
In this bizarre 1988 gem from Pharos Books, service station attendant Herb finds himself in a surreal routine when a masked man with a chainsaw rolls up for a fuel stop—only to have his weapon serviced with surprising precision. The issue’s offbeat tone is matched by a dog food ad that insists horse radish is the ultimate condiment, all drawn with the unmistakable, deadpan weirdness of Mike Peters, who wrote, drew, and inked the entire story, with his cover art completing the oddball vision.
