Comical

Forgive me as I relive the Mets sweep of the Pirates by completely destroying the comic book genre:













Special thanks to the animators at Be Funky.

Best. Comix. Ever.

At least since Jughead asked Archie to loan him two bits for a burger.

Unser said...

Wow. That was impressive. Have you recently experienced an increase in your operating budget?

kjs said...

Funnier and better done than the OF and dimensions and sightlines at Debits Field...

Joe D. said...

Outstanding, classic and genius all rolled into one!

+1 to anyone who can figure out who the Pirate is to the right of the parrot.

Sorry. Try again.

Unser said...

Mike Easler, the original Met killer?

Metstradamus said...

Show me Mike Easler!

Two strikes.

Keyser said...

It looks to me most like Bill Madlock, but he was a right handed hitter and your picture shows someone in a left-handed hitters pose. The others I thought of were Rennie Stennett and Willie Stargell, but it doesnt look like either of them (and rennie was also right handed) Doesnt look like Manny Sanguien either.

Jeez.. My first guess was Dave Parker...

Omar Moreno? Frank Tavares?

It couldn't be Bobby Bonilla, could it?

Connor said...

Rennie Stennett?

Metstradamus said...

Keyser, incorrect on all counts. It does look like Madlock ... I'm surprised that wasn't the first guess.

This is a tough one. I can't blame you guys for not getting it. I wouldn't even expect a Pirate fan to figure it out. I will say that if you know your Mets history, the name will ring a bell with you.

850 said...

Willie Montanez. Only the mailman walks.

Metstradamus said...

850, you now must call yourself 851. Because you get a +1. Good job.

And here's your proof:

Schneck said...

Excellent job!! Especially the lower left hand corner of the front cover.

Metstradamus said...

Schneck, I needed an ingenue. And Anna Benson threatened to sue ;)

I.M. Forme said...

this looks expensive. how'd you do it? are you sponsored by pepsi, geico, and that new sponge thing?

Metstradamus said...

I.M., Expensive? Not in the least. Lotta work? Yes.
