Here comes another Department out of hibernation... I can barely conceal my glee!
The"Longbox Playhouse Proudly Presents"and "Eep-Opp-Ork Weirdness" Dept.s Bring You:
Something truly unusual. Check out this lovely bit of art by Steve Ditko (someone who many of you are already familiar with, but whom I've awarded some attention for as the co-creator of Spider-Man and Dr Strange, his deliciously oddball Giant Underwear Monster work for that company, a series of beautifully weird comics for DC, as well as his own, even stranger, Objectivist indie comics based on the work of Ayn Rand).
Yep, no two ways about it - that granny is a Ditko lady. Kind of an evil Aunt May.
Now, why is that so interesting?
SHE'S HOLDING THE GUN ON MAXWELL SMART AND AGENT 99 OF C.O.N.T.R.O.L!!!
Yes, I'll be running the comic stories here. There are at least three of them, with jet-packs, people who talk to porpoises, and Heaven Be Praised, Don Adams in drag, as deliberately delineated by "Sturdy" Steve Ditko.
Starting next week, kids!
