    Wow! That was weird as hell. I have a feeling Robert Crumb and Robert Williams may have read this one at an impressionable age.

    One thing I want to do before I die. I want to have FULL access to Sherm's comic book collection for a month! ( with 5 cases of Mountain dew and a month's supply of those spaghetti-os with the little sliced franks in them ) I would then die a happy man!

    David: I wouldn't be surprised. Crumb and Williams probably read every comic on the stands during the fifties!

    Todd - I LOVE those little hot-dog-Spaghettios!

    Always great to see something from Jingle Jangle, one of the most underrated comics in history.

    You've got to work really hard to top that kind of sincere weirdness in comics.

    Josh...I couldn't agree more. I'll be posting more Jingla Jangle comics in the near future.

    Patrick...glad you like the weirdness...your "Cobra Hands" comic has got some very fine weirdness of its own!
