MICKEY RAT No. 2
by Bob Armstrong (1972).
For some strange reason, the litigious
Walt Disney organization never sued Bob Armstrong for
his seedy, alcoholic, drug-induced version of squeaky (no pun
intended) clean Mickey Mouse. The name and resemblance
weren't subtle. Armstrong's lead story this issue, "Feelin'
Kinda Disney," depicts a giant roc bird dropping a huge
turd on The Magic Kingdom. Patrons assume it's a new park
attraction and Mickey, who landed on the stinky pile, is happy
to take the customers' money till he's nabbed by the Disney police
(a cross between the Keystone Kops and the Beagle Boys). The
second feature stars Mickey's burned-out jazz musician cousin,
Dizzy Ratstein. In a final adventure, Mickey lands on
Easter Island and maybe finds love. Even the ads here are interesting.
The back cover pushes the 78 rpm "Ordinary"
record by R. Crumb & His Keep-on-Truckin Orchestra
(which included Armstrong) and pictures the band. Another
ad offers the rare and elusive Mr. Natural and Mickey
Rat sterling silver rings! (These are among the holy grails
for underground comix collectors.) We don't have the rings (for
sale) but we do have Bob Armstrong's self-portrait button
as well as Mickey Rat and Dizzy Ratstein
on cool '70s buttons elsewhere in this web store (just use our
trusty search engine). Mickey Rat #2 is published by Kitchen
Sink Press. First printing. NM/Mint. $10.00
