Real World Disclaimer

Real World Disclaimer.......for readers on Earth prime, Earth primate, and Earth X-X-Dumb.

We've gotten a hell of a lot of disturbing mail lately, where folks are asking me just where the heck they can get their Skidmore comics? Seasoned collectors, who should really know better, claim they don't remember them and a few people out there have even accused me of simply putting these comics into photoshop or something and screwing around with the covers of obscure foreign comics! Nothing could be further from the truth! I don't even know how to work the photoshop program that well and really just prefer the standard paint box program that comes on all PC's. That being said this whole Skidmore comics Blog is really just and artistic excersise in Bunkum, Bull DaDa and Tom Foolery with a bunch of Weird Old Comic Books! And a minor theme of this story happens to the asking of the age old science-fictional question, that even comic book publisher to this day are asking themselves; 'just what is copyright infringement, and when does the universal laws of PARODY over ride such nonsensical laws and become basically a get out of jail FREE card when you go up against a corporate media giant in fedral court'? It's a tough question.Especially when all the lawyers  for corporate giants go out to lunch at the country club with the judge and well um.... hopefully that won't happen now!  For chumps like me ARTISTIC EXPRESSION is about all we got, and a big part of ARTISTIC EXPRESSION around here includes an ungodly amount of PARODY. because really if you can't laugh at it all you'd probably just sit around all day reading old Marvel Two-In-One comics and questioning your own sanity! I've been there, it's no fun! Except for when The Thing started to clobber the shit out of Ghost Rider! That was kinda fun.
So my advice to you my friend is to just sit back, read your blogs and forget all about collecting Skidmore comics! Really! For one thing they are hard as hell to find in this dimension! Forget E-bay. they banned all Skidmore comics related material years ago! Stick to REAL COMIC BOOKS..... the kind kids (and 50 year old men) Like! And save yourself the headache of never being able to complete your whole run of REVENGE SQUAD or even the French version of Monsieur Excelsior! You should all realise by now that the whole comic book collectors market is a total sham to begin with and free your minds from such mundane completest exercises in anal retention! but if you happen to find a copy of FATMAN The Human Flying Saucer #3 let me know, quick! It had low distribution.

Other then that, I would like to remind you that below every post there is a comments section that you can click on to. You don't have to fill up my damn mailbox with inane questions like "Who's Stronger, The Savage Sub-Hu-Man of Major Disaster?" (The Sub-Hu-Man is technical Stronger but that doesn't necessarily mean he would win a battle with Major D or anything! Don't you know Nuthin' Kid?)
Lastly, is that even a word? Lastly? Well it is now!  Let me clue you in to some spectacular super science features that are bound to come up on the blog (after I get done with all the artist and writers bio's)
Skidmore's "OF THE APES" series was and extremely popular run of comics all through the seventies and that will soon be dealt with extensively. From Manny Stallman of the Apes, to the final days of ARTIE SIMIK of the Apes! You can even expect a full explanation for the mysterious John Teshla -Time Traveler! Also a full review of spin off series Kamanchi The Last Girl on Earth! Look for it soon, then remind me I once said all this!

A whole lot of masked detective work has gone into tracking down the Bootleg Skidmore Comics from around the world! See how poor coimc bookless countries from arouond the world uniquely  interpet copyright infringement laws and guffaw at the clueless treatment for some of Skidmore's Best Selling Characters!
The French Invasion! A comprehensive essay on the influence of some of the French bootleg Skidmore comics!, on the REAL Skidmore comics! The Origin of Monsieur Excelsior!  What's Up with The Westchester Weirdo's?  Who is Doc Puzzler? Find out as soon as I can think of more funny French Jokes!
And a look at Skidmore's Distinguished Competition, Nationalistic Comics! It's gonna have Mervin Glookman in it and everything! Everything you wanted to know about GOOBERMAN! and WET-WILLY of the NYPD. wow!
Plus bio's on Inker Sally Tane! Jake 'the chairman" Klineberg, and a visit with Skip Skidmore circa 1977.plus a whole bunch of stuff I forgot about.
Other then that keep those Cease and Desist Orders coming! They make excellent rolling papers when I run out of them here in international waters, where I post this stuff.

Now go get a san'wich and get ready for Manley S! Melmon, Worlds Greatest Comic Book Writer.......or if your reading it backwards get ready for The Incredibly Strange Saga of Bill Tso! either way it kinda works. but the sandwich part is essential! trust me.
