watch the video below! listen to the podcast below! Hey there! It's me, your old pal Obnoxio the Clown. I know it's been a while but I couldn't help but crawl out of my clown hole once I heard what the Dandy Fun House had planned for this episode of their show! Not only that, but they also made the incredibly bad decision to ask ME, your old pal Obnoxio to host!They would have asked the Nebbish, but he doesn't really talk so much. Ok, by now I have to imagine about two of you are really excited but most of you are really confused, so let me bring you up to speed. I used to be the mascot for CRAZY Magazine and I'm here to tell you the story of this wacky little rag that had a pretty good run back in the 70's and 80's! So without further ado, Let's step into the Fart House! What? Oh the Fun House! Yeah that's it! Hello and welcome to the Dandy Flop House, Fun House or whatever they call it! Video Show, Podcast and Blog! I'm your old long-lost pal, Obnoxio the Clown and I'm here to tell you the story of an obnoxious humor magazine that existed from 1973 to 1983 which yours truly was honored to be the mascot for during it's final few years. But first, let me show you these crazy new t-shirts from the Dandy Fun House (did I say it right this time?) now available in the Dandy Fun SHOP! It's got a front AND a back so you don't get too cold and comes with 4 holes in it. One to crawl your body into, one to stick your head out of and two to poke yer arms through! You can find it at the Dandy Fun House website at http://www.dandyfunhouse.com or go directly to the store at http://www.dandyfunshop.com . Now back to this glorious freaking episode! Ok, CRAZY MAGAZINE! We were published by Marvel Comics believe it or not and were sort of in the vein of Mad Magazine, Cracked, Sick Magazine and National Lampoon. In the beginning back in 1953, Marvel Comics was actually called Atlas Comics and they decided to try their hand at competing with the behemoth of all novelty mags, MAD Magazine. So they published 7 issues of a comic book called CRAZY! Which skewered pop culture and included gags galore. It was a nice trial balloon, but didn't exactly take the world by storm so they shelved the idea of publishing a satire for the next TWENTY YEARS until 1973 when it was revived for the purpose of republishing some of Marvel's more wacky bits from their late-60's comic called “Not Brand Echh.” What the heck kind of a name is “NOT BRAND ECHH!?”   STAN LEE MARV WOLFMAN For some reason they decided to give the old CRAZY Magazine another crack at success and kept things rolling under the guiding hand of the Marvel man, myth and legend himself… Stan Lee along with Co-Editor Marv Wolfman. Lee wanted to go for a straight up Mad Magazine and Cracked Magazine vibe while Wolfman wanted something more along the lines of National Lampoon. They came to an agreement somewhere in the middle and this gave CRAZY its own unique flavor. Kind of like sardine ala mode! It was decided that CRAZY needed a mascot, and so kicked around ideas until they came up with a small, buggy looking guy in a floppy hat and some sort of black cape-looking trench coat thing and they called this guy “The Nebbish.” Later they gave him the more proper name of “Irving Nebbish.” This Nebbish guy served as the mascot for CRAZY Magazine for seven solid years and he did a fine job I must say. I mean, I eventually STOLE his job but no hard feelings Nebby! That's show biz! STEVE GERBER Wolfman wasn't the only editor Crazy Magazine had. A man named Steve Gerber took over editing for issues #11-14 with a desire to set the magazine apart from its competition and try to convince the readers that the creators themselves were crazy. Gerber's run as editor came to an abrupt end however when he published a very dark feature called “... And the Birds Hummed Dirges” which featured high schoolers engaged in a suicide pact.

It's Sore vs Superbman, I mean…what the?! Yes exactly! We cover Marvel's humor book What The—?! featuring The Avengers (The Revengers) vs the Justice League of America (Just-Us League) years before this battle became official. We discuss a history of both parody books and the “big two” crossovers plus speculate if we will ever see Marvel and DC team up in print or on screen again. Ep. 97 What if the Avengers fought the Justice League in a parody spoof before it happened for real? Plus a HISTORY of Marvel/DC CrossoversEarth-89923 as seen in What The--?! #7It's all your favorite characters: Charlie America, Black & Blue Panther, The Least and more from the house of Marble vs. Hawk-mensch, Mr. Bat-mom, Doctor Face and other members of the Just-A-League in this Marvel vs. DC crossover in the pages of What The—?! Brought to the page by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Rurik Tyler plus work from Tom DeFalco, Terry Kavanagh and more, this skirmish (organized by Kranky the Master of Time and the Poker) comes years before the official Big Two battled it out. On this episode, we discuss the history of both parody comics (including Not Brand Echh and more) and comic crossovers from the beginning to today. We also wonder if thanks to folks like James Gunn and Jim Lee we could see a Marvel and DC crossover on the page or screen again soon. Reading List:What The--?! #7Find us at https://linktr.ee/dearwatchersEmail Podcast@DearWatchers.comTheme music is Space Heroes by MaxKoMusic (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0) ★ Support this podcast ★

There's something to be said about a book that lives up to its tagline... unfortunately THIS book's tagline happens to be: "Who Says A Comic Book Has to be Good??" So yeah - today we're looking at something altogether different... a "Just the X, ma'am" dive into Marvel's attempt at Silver Age Satire... Not Brand Echh! I know humor is relative... and I also know that, perhaps yer humble host can be a bit too serious at times... but, hoo boy, we're in for quite the ride with this one!  Thankfully this story is full of weird pop-culture references, which kept me researching and entertained... too bad I had to keep coming back to talk about the story itself!  The Doom Patrol show up... so, at least there's that! Plus: As I own this physical comic, I'm including our usual Essential back-matter... we've got a Letters Page and smattering of weird ads to talk about! -- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com The All-New, All-Different chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

On this episode, The Barretta Brothers take questions from the Live Youtube chat, with illustrator and author, Jay Fossgit.   ABOUT OUR HOSTS: Gene Barretta & Bill Barretta “What are they up to now?” That was the popular question around their house and neighborhood while growing up. It was not unusual to see Gene and Bill dressed up in homemade costumes – filming Super 8mm dramas – attempting risky stunts in the ravine – animating GI Joes and weird-looking clay figures – building and performing clunky puppets – drawing offbeat comics, - and imitating The Beatles. Today, life isn't very different. In addition to personal projects and various acting roles, Bill has been a director, writer, producer and core performer with The Muppets for nearly 30 years. Gene is an award-winning author and illustrator of children's books. He has also animated and illustrated for Sesame Street, Between the Lions, and The Jim Henson Company. The best part of their careers is that they occasionally get to work together! Unfortunately, no one will pay them to imitate The Beatles.   ABOUT OUR GUEST: Jay Fossgit Jay P. Fosgitt has created comics for many familiar properties, such as SESAME STREET and DREAMWORKS ANIMATION (Ape Entertainment), MY LITTLE PONY, G.I. JOE, MICRONAUTS, TRANSFORMERS (IDW/HASBRO), POPEYE (KING FEATURES), ADVENTURE TIME, THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL, JIM HENSON'S LABYRINTH, THE DARK CRYSTAL and FRAGGLE ROCK (Boom/The Jim Henson Company), BETTY AND VERONICA and LITTLE SABRINA (Archie), and ROCKET RACCOON AND GROOT, AVENGERS, GWENPOOL, WEB WARRIORS, CHAMPIONS, DEADPOOL, JESSICA JONES, NOT BRAND ECHH. LOCKJAW AND SPIDER-GEDDON (Marvel), and Jay has illustrated YOUNG DONALD books for Disney Publishing, and drawn for RANGER RICK MAGAZINE (National Wildlife Federation).

Comics historian Rhett Thomas joins Douglas Wolk to talk about Fantastic Four #57-60, Silver Surfer: Loftier than Mortals #1-2 and "The Silver Burper" from Not Brand Echh #1! Topics include the unwieldiness of the device with which Doctor Doom steals the Silver Surfer's power, the curious creative relationship between Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in 1966, and who owns a hundred pairs of stretch socks.

We can't imagine there's someone out there who's interested in this podcast and hasn't heard of Mark Waid, but just in case: he's written just about every major Marvel and Brand Echh character over the course of a 35+ year career in comics. He created the Elseworlds imprint for DC Comics, and his and Alex Ross's Kingdom Come continues to be critically and commercially regarded as one of the greatest comics stories ever, nearly 25 years after publication.At Marvel, he co-created the Age of Apocalypse and Onslaught for the X-universe, succeeded Mark Gruenwald's legendary run on Captain America and stuck the landing, wrote about a hundred issues of Amazing Spider-Man, returned the World's Greatest Comics Magazine to greatness with a three-year run on Fantastic Four, won a bunch of Eisners during his tenure on Daredevil, and so much more, you guys. The guy's Wikipedia page has sub-pages.He's also the publisher of Humanoids and has written or held executive positions for virtually every comics publisher active in American comics in the last quarter-century. We can't figure out why he spent almost an hour and a half with us either, but we're immensely grateful that he did.Per our "Recommendations" segment, please be sure to check out Portland's own Karl Kesel's Kickstarter for Impossible 2: Impossible Jones & Holly Daze Team-Up!Also, everyone on the podcast is a big fan of (and supporter of) The Hero Initiative, which creates a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work.

Elliott Kalan has made a career for himself out of checking items off the bucket list he made for himself when he was 14, which is a damn fine way to go through life, if you ask us.You may know him as the head writer of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return, which Robb mortgaged his house to Kickstart, or his 12-year run as writer and head writer of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.He's written a bunch of Spider-Man comics, including Spider-Man & the X-Men, which includes what is probably the second-most-memed comics panel of the last decade.He's been co-hosting bad-movie podcast The Flop House since 2007, long before the federal government made co-hosting a bad-movie podcast compulsory for men aged 18-25. And he co-hosted a 13-episode podcast about I, Claudius called (wait for it) I, Podivs with fellow MBTM alumnus John Hodgman.BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, he has written two fantastic kids' picture books: Horse Meets Dog (which was the first book Bryan's son was able to read all by himself) and Sharko and Hippo, out now for your holiday purchasing pleasure.Bottom line: Elliott is great. Please make the two hours he wasted doing this show with us worth his while by consuming all his media.Stories Covered In Detail This Episode:Strange Tales #161: “The Second Doom” - written and drawn by Jim SterankoTales of Suspense #94: “If This Be… MODOK!” - written by Stan Lee, art by Jack Kirby w/Joe SinnottFantastic Four #67: “When Opens the Cocoon” - written by Stan Lee, art by Jack Kirby w/Joe SinnottAmazing Spider-Man #53: “Enter: Dr. Octopus” - written by Stan Lee, art by John Romita w/”Mickey Demeo” (Mike Esposito)Complete List of Comics Published This Month (courtesy of mikesamazingworld.com): Amazing Spider-Man #53, Avengers #44, Avengers Annual #1, Daredevil #32, Fantastic Four #67, Not Brand Echh #3, Sgt.

Part of what made Marvel so well known in the 60s is their sense of humour. Stan and the gang didn't shy away from being funny, self-depreciating and overall goofy. So what happens when you take all of that energy and channel it into one title? You get Not Brand Echh! Greg Russell and Kurtis […]

When something becomes popular, it's likely to get parodied somewhere. In the 1960s, the parodier-in-chief was MAD Magazine. Meanwhile, at Marvel Comics, a new parody comic series began in 1967, Not Brand ECHH, which followed the lead of MAD's 1950s incarnation as a comic book. In 1966, MAD published "BATS-MAN", followed about a year later by ECHH'S "The Aging Spidey-Man! Peter Pooper vs. Gnatman and Rotten." In this episode, we examine both parodies: What are they trying to say about Batman the character, or Batman the TV show? We also take a look at myth that doesn't just apply to Batman '66: that those TV actors are raking in the residuals! Plus, the Megaraptor version of the Batman theme, and your mail about the "Court BAT-tles" episode!

Hey, comicskateers!

There's lots of theretofore-untold information about this humor comic book, as well as Reggie's lamentations that the industry doesn't seem to be having as much fun anymore.

His new book Hero-a-Go-Go: Campy Comic Books, Crimefighters and Culture of the Swinging Sixties comes out from TwoMorrows Publishing next week, and the two discuss this project's genesis and the significance of the camp cultural phenomenon. This text stands out because Eury doesn't limit himself to just comics, but instead he looks at camp from a wider vista, revealing its convergence among television, film, toys, cartoons, music, and everyday consumable products. In Hero-a-Go-Go, readers will find in-depth discussions of such subjects as Metamorpho, The Inferior Five, Jerry Lewis comics, Monkeemania, Not Brand Echh, Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Herbie the Fat Fury, Captain Action, the TV Green Hornet, M.F. Enterprise's Captain Marvel, The Cowsills, JFK and LBJ in comics, the ill-fated Harvey Thrillers, and, of course, the Batman television series. As Michael reveals over the course of this interview, Hero-a-Go-Go is intended for diverse audiences, written as both an informed introduction and a chronicle for remembrance.

It's April Fools Day and Chris played one hell of an unintentional prank on us by choosing Not Brand Echh for this week's episode. We read the first three issues of Stan Lee’s 1967 attempt to make a Marvel comedy magazine and, to be honest, we had a pretty great time ripping this thing to shreds while searching for any jokes. It also gave us a great chance to talk about a bunch of other funny comics that are actually worth reading! All that and more on today's Bum Of My Bends Bead Bomics! Who says a podcast has to be good??

Definitely Not Not Brand Echh! It's really not. What it is, though, is the 74th episode of The Fantasticast, hosted by Steve Lacey and Andrew Leyland. This week we're looking at the first physical appearance of the Kree in the Marvel Universe, as both the Supreme Intelligence and Ronan The Accuser make their debut appearances in the Marvel Universe. Hint: One of these is a lot more prominent than the other! Yes, it's Fantastic Four #65. We've also dragged show artist Michael Georgiou back for a second bout of commentary and stumbling through the Bullpen Bulletins. And, as a special bonus, we spend almost two minutes looking at the lead strip from the first issue of Not Brand Echh!, Marvel's first humour mag. And I use the word 'humour' very broadly.
