 Post subject: THE CATERER (2 huge scans) |
 |
|
Rescued by Warren Ellis from his novelist friend Steve Aylett. Here are two EPIC pages of Jeff Lint's The Caterer from Pearl Comics, circa 1974.
Described by Alan Moore as "the holy barnacle of failure", The Caterer dragged Pearl into a legal hell when its hero spent the whole of Issue 9 on a killing spree in Disneyland. The smirking Jack Marsden became a cult figure and role model for enigmatic idiots in the mid-70s. His style and catchphrases were such an insider code that hundreds of people got beaten up by baffled or enraged onlookers.
In Ellis' words:
You have no idea what it was like back then. You have no idea what they made us wear. John Denver watched you from every street corner, and women were only allowed to fancy Barry Manilow. This is the world we had to live in. THE CATERER was the only sane reaction.

This is what a comic book would look like if Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez were to write one.

"Energy."
I'm trying to track down more scans of this. The comic sans font is icing on the mystery cake.

This shall be my new standard when considering something to be "careless whisper Up Random" or " Totally Trippy your poetry".
I'm now wondering if the guy who wrote the script of this was high and decided to fill in the word balloons and text boxes with whatever he was babbling, or whether this was all planned. |

Amazingly, Patrick's comment on this post made me laugh more, even if what he stated was all obvious from post 1.

| Oh my God. This is like those edited Spider-Man daily strips, taken to a whole new level of absurdity and ROFL. |

Some ideas about the man :
( http://www.snowbooks.com/wiki/Jeff_Lint/#caterer
A ' wikipedia ' page, but not exactly in wikipedia. Strangeness begins )
" Born in Chicago in 1928, Jeff (or Jack) Lint submitted his first story to the pulps during a childhood spent in Santa Fe. His first published effort appeared in a wartime edition of Amazing Stories because he submitted it under the name 'Isaac Asimov'. 'And Your Point Is?' tells the story of an unpopularly calm tramp who is pelted every day with rocks, from which he slowly builds a fine house.
The story already reflected the notion of 'effortless incitement' that Lint would practice as an adult. 'Jack was fantastic,' says friend Tony Fleece. 'Went around blessing people - knew it was the most annoying thing he could do. A dozen times, strangers just beat the hell out of him.' Lint perfected the technique when he stumbled upon the notion of telling people he would pray for them."
More ideas about the man :
Around the time of his second published novel Jelly Result, Lint met his first wife Madeline, who was attracted to him by a knife scar that led from below his left eye to his mouth. This was in fact a sleep crease and Lint managed to maintain the mistake by napping through most of the marriage. |
