GRIMES: "The Bromomaniaks. Thought it would be a hoot to run both pages. Was submitted to LAST GASP in the mid 90s. Got no reply. Of all places... Guess the anthology editor sent to or somebody put off by the ‘chocks’ panel. (When I was a kid there used to be a vitamin called ‘Chocks’, their slogan "Pop a Chocks" said in borderline hysteria). Not long before there had been some seizures of mail order books of ‘doubtful’ content, in Canada. Maybe the publishers them were more chicken. I always thought I did good on the art. (Yet again my attempt to return to tighter work). And think it’s funny and deserves to be seen. If you’re running ‘full blown’ "Elly" and such like might as well let you. Maybe the last ‘dick joke’ I use. They bring me ‘bad luck’!" -- Rick Grimes (February 16th, 2009).
