Some Canadian humor group you've never heard of had a similar idea once -- so clearly you must have subconsciously plagiarized them.

Also, you drew a cartoon a couple of weeks ago that was very similar to a conversation I had with my wife once. You must have been outside our door, eavesdropping!

Before taking prescribed medication, "Medicated Morty" was known as "Crazy Morty". The first "Crazy Morty" circular appeared in 1999:

The second appeared the following year:

The first two "Crazy Morty" circulars were among the funniest and most memorable cartoons Ruben Bolling ever did, and that's saying a lot.

Maybe some Crumb, but I'm seeing more Basil Wolverton at play.

You may have subconsciously plagiarized the genius sketch called "Crazy Sammy's Discount Store" by the Canadian comedy troupe The Vestibules, which appears on their second album, "Get Spiffy".

In this "commercial", Sammy explains that he is better now and changed his name to "Well-Adjusted Sammy's". Are you sure you didn't hear it before?

....(or perhaps several of them) here in Portland, Or. who could use a little help from Mortys' Doc.!!!

Medicated Morty looks like an outright homage to R. Crumb...beautiful! Good for you!

Made me laugh out loud yet again!

In case you were wondering.

I remember Morty before he was on medication:

Great take on Crazy Eddie.

I remember working as a nightwatchman in 1984. The disc jockey on WPLR in New Haven used to apologize before and after playing one of those ads.

Thanks Tom.

There was a Crazy Eddie's not too far away when I was growing up. I got some good deals there, actually. I still remember those commercials...I wonder if they're on YouTube?

(going to check)

That show up this Saturday, you'll recieve not one, but TWO, "America, Love It Or Leave It", bumper stickers and an "Easy-Rider" rifle rack......
