By (sorta) request, we begin the Ballad of Johnny McPhanbot:
We begin with the glamourshots from
glamourpuss #7:
 |
| The First appearance of the Man, the Myth, The McPhanbot! (If you got one, I'd get it slabbed by CGC.) |
Dave didn't respond, and this letter implies the existence of an earlier unpublished letter (I went back and checked, and glamourpuss 1-6 contain NO letters from Johnny Mcphanbot, a GRAVE injustice that all men of goodwill must NOT let stand. #PleaseHoldForDaveSim!) But he already has the Lord Julius Like-A-Look photo (which, ISN'T Johnny, according to the disclaimer...)
Johnny next showed up in the glamourshots for glamourpuss Issue #11:
Now Dave responds, but only to request that Johnny comes clean with his secret idolatry, and we get a missive from one Sean Robinson, I wonder whatever happened to THAT GUY?!? Also, the Lord Julius Like-A-Look photo has no disclaimer.
Our dear Mr. McPhanbot next rears his head (you RAISE hogs, you REAR heads (but only on alternate Tuesdays, and ONLY if it's during one of the six months with less than seven letters in its name... #ProTip),) in the glamourshots from
glamourpuss #13:
Call CGC, this is the first appearance of Senator McPhanbot. Is he the same McPhanbot as our beloved Johnny? Or a clever(?) impostor?
Johnny next appears in a two-fer from the glamourshots for glamourpuss #14:
Okay, it's not really a "two-fer", but a "one and a half-fer" sounds like the kind of illegal activity one used to only see late at night on the Cinemax cable channel (and in earlier days as a scrambled mess on the pay-per-view channels that we didn't know how to unlock. Ah, memories...)
Next Time: Hobbs.
