Swamp Thing
Here’s a snip from The Eclectic Micks Swap Thing pic. Was banged out while waiting for Amperduke to burn to a cd (becasue I’ve changed printers) and talking to Yvonne on the phone. Sorry hun! Hey it’s the same as aimlessly doodling while you’re talking to somebody innit?
Ah…..Swamp Thing, remember that film? I’m man enough to admit it now that some parts sort of scared me. Then there was the animated show and toys. What was that about? Sort of like Toxic Crusaders being a spin off of Toxic Avenger and bearing no resembelance to the source. BUT scoff as I may, the TMNT cartoon which I grew up on and craved was just a hack job of an independant comic.
Anyway, about being scared while watching Swamp Thing, there was a part where a baddie turns into a snivelling little rodent thing and it just freaked me out. At least I didn’t shit my bags like Poncho when he saw Slimer in Ghostbusters.

Ah d’ya remember the theme music to the Swamp Thing cartoon? It was the song ‘Wild Thing’ with different words. Terrible, yet brilliant at the same time.
I had toys of Toxie and yer man with the huge nose and a wheel for a leg. Then i saw where the cartoon came from (late night on Bravo) and was horrified. My childhood innocence was lost when i saw all the toxic mutation ……….and boobies.
Great piece Bob

Just found a pic online of what Swampy looks like and he has all flowers and shit growing on him! Will ammend the piece later.
I used to love those shitty Troma films. But its something you grow out of, like being excited about your birthday. It’s just a gay waste of time.

I was 9 or 10 when I shit myself. In fairness it was dysentry and my sweet young arse was just spewing every fluid out of me. But I concede, I tried to run to the jacks and you made me laugh then WOOMF! Scutter explosion all over me smurf undies.
Then I was given milk of magnesia and I had both ends going.

Moody pic, Bob, but looks more Man-Thing than Swamp Thing. (Both are ‘muck-encrusted echoes of a man’, so probably makes little difference.)

ZING!

She owns shares in the internet.
Nice Zing there Luke. What’s happening in your life that you’re too busy to draw? Wait until you’re working full time 9-5 and have a full time bird.
