Mickey Death: Winds of Impotence
The Mickey Death strip ran for several years in the late, lamented TRASH magazine from Carrboro, NC ("The Paris of the Piedmont"). I collaborated with Kevin "Eff" Dixon on the strip, which came out weekly. We had a blast doing the work, and it helped win us a Xeric grant in 1994. Not bad for a comic about a giant undead rodent, his friend (another oversized rodent), a superhero chef/cereal spokesman, zombies, and a secret government plot to ruin breakfast for all American children. I'm pretty sure Elvis is in there somewhere,too.

It's kind of funny; the strip is in some ways an artifact of the early 90s, but it's come around to relevance again in the current political climate. Or something. Mostly it's just crazy. Enjoy.
