FLYING INTO THE FUTURE

Cartoonist's Commentary:
The above Hanna-Barbera toon reference isn't the only time during the late '60s or early '70s that any writer or artist would mention The Jetsons (1961) and its motif of flying cars, but it was certainly one of the earliest.

About 30 years later for a comedy feature on The Tonight Show, film director Kevin Smith produced a short subject called The Flying Car, using the same flying car and Jetsons reference.

Thanks for the callback, Kev - even though it was three decades later!

THE KING ENTERS

Cartoonist's Commentary:
#1 with a bull-slinger - the classic Mr. Ed Weirdo episode that started it all!

(Note: All pre-internet [1970-1994] strips were originally produced in black and white.
Elements including color, font and website address have been altered and/or added.
Do not take internally. Rinse and repeat.)

Yes, avid art fans, these are samples of the award-winning, satiric parody of a webcomic
strip starring the legendary Ed, Vicki, Stoney, Kristi, Bob and all their pathetic little pals!
Here you'll find some ultra-cool, semi-autobiographical episodic excitement.
So do join us, won't you?

THE NOT SO BASHFUL ONE-MAN BULLPEN

Mr. Ed Weirdo is the putrid product of Ed Gauthier, a complete
idiot who lived in Los Angeles County for many years, yet can still barely tie his own shoelaces.

His artwork and journalism have appeared in alternative press publications running the gamut from the L.A. Star and Uncle Jam (published in L.A. County) to the L.A. Weekly and the L.A. Free Press.

Speaking of L.A., Gauthier was also one of the last people ever hired as a writer by the L.A. Herald Examiner newspaper, since a month or so later their owners announced it was closing down -
for which he still blames himself.

(Gee, have we used the term L.A. enough, yet?) So these days he lives in Santa Barbara County while writing an online column which appears in The Blogger Bulletin, among other venues.

His favorite role remains that of the evil instigator of the afore-mentioned webcomic Mr. Ed Weirdo, though.
It has been running as an independent production since 1970,
and later on the internet which began in the mid 1990s.

Gauthier's stupid strip usually features his brainless blatherings about society, the news and many other
random inane topics, by comparison making geniuses out of all standard losers.
