CHAPTER XV
POSTSCRIPT
PART ONE
In mid-2007, as I was winding up my research on this project, in the
archive of Ivy University I discovered a cache of previously unknown
work by the artist, some of it dating back some seventy years, to
1937. In the twenty-one storage boxes, which Murph had bequeathed to
the university in 2003, shortly before his incapacitating stroke,
there were many examples of his juvenalia. Boxes 1-4 consist mostly of
very early notebook sketches, and do not merit further discussion as
such. Boxes 5-8 contain highly derivative early work, most of which
is of little consequence, and not worthy of discussion here, with the
exception of the following examples. Note: I have supplied titles and
dates, when available, and assigned them when not. Chronologically
arranged, these include:
THE MAGIC CITY (1937). Comic strip about a city populated by
magicians. An early version of “Limbo”? One of the earliest surviving
examples of Murph’s work.
JOE FATSO (1938). More juvenilia. Series of character sketches modeled
on himself.
THE LAUGHING CAVALIER (1939?). Early, juvenile stab at an adventure strip.
IMAGINARY HOBO (1940?). Comic strip. It concerned the adventures of a
superhero who was a hobo in his secret identity.
IMP AND ARN (1940). Kiddie strip.
SPEED AND JUNIOR (1941). Another early, crude attempt at a superhero comic.
BLITZKRIEG MOUSE (1941). Character sketches for a superheroic rodent.
YOYO THE MAGIC CLOWN (1942?). A crudely-drawn comic strip about a circus.
UNCLE MEANIE (1942). Old-fashioned comic strip; the character is
clearly based on “The Terrible Tempered Mr. Bang” from Frank
Fontaine’s “Toonerville Trolley”.
KITTEN TALK (1943). Cutesy kiddie strip about talking kittens.
SIR BRAT (1944). Fanciful kiddie strip about a boy King.
OLD HAM AND HACK (1945?). A strip about two comical “niggers”. Clearly
based on “Amos ‘n’ Andy”.
In Boxes 9-17, there were stored many samples of comic strips and
rough drafts of potential comic book stories, many of which Murph
abandoned after the first page and which could be therefore considered
as false starts. Some of the more significant strips have already been
discussed in the body of the text, and are not listed here. Those that
have not already been mentioned, however, deserve to at least be
listed for the sake of completeness; many of them also deserve a brief
description, if only for the historic light a brief discussion of them
might shed on the development of the artist. Many of these strips show
that, contrary to popular belief, Murph’s began drawing “underground”
work as early as 1961, and that, rather than abandoning such work
during the last thirty years of his life, he continued doing so long
after his 1972 trial and prosecution. Chronologically arranged, these
“false starts” and “out-takes” (only a few of which, including I
SHOULD GET MARRIED I SHOULD BE GOOD, were ever published, under the
title MY MIDGET MARRIAGE). These included the following:
BOX 9:
THE MAN WITH THE THIN TIE (1946). Comic strip. A rather strange detective story.
50 YEARS FROM NOW (1947). Comic book story. An early attempt at
science fiction. Presciently enough, Murph predicted the end of the
Soviet Union and the coming of a “World Brain.” (However, he also
predicted flying cars, head transplants, and teleportation.)
THE DOG, THE PARROT, THE ROBOT, THE CHIMP, AND THE INVALID (1948). A
science fiction story about a futuristic but dysfunctional household.
SO FAR SO GOOD (1949). Proposal for a syndicated comic strip about
desert island drifters.
THE FUTURE PHONE! (1950) Unsuccessful attempt at a science fiction story.
ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MEATBALLS (1950). Half-hearted attempt to
categorize certain lowbrow barroom “types”: The booze sponge, the
piker, the braggart, etc.
BEDLAM PARK (1951). Zombie hoboes run wild in a city park.
KOREA KOMIKS (1951). Strange humor strip about soldiers fighting and
dying in the Korean conflict.
VINEGAR SPRINGS (1952). Proposal for a comic strip. An early prototype
for “Notown”?
FEAR OF A RED PLANET (1953). A labored “Martian/Communist” allegory.
THE FERAL MEN (1953). Bizarre ‘jungle adventure’ strip.
A DISH BEST EATEN COLD (1954). Tales of mobsters fighting other
mobsters for supremacy.
CAPTAIN FURY HAVOC ON THE S.S. REVENGE. (1955) ‘Moby Dick’ brought up to date.
BOX 10:
WORD OF EYE (1956). Witnesses to a murder give conflicting accounts of
what they saw. Possibly based on “Rashomon”.
DIRTY OLD TOWN (1956). Sketches for an early version of “Notown.”
RUSSIAN TELEPHONE (1957). Labored attempt at a “Rashomon”-like Cold
War spy thriller.
HAPPYLAND (1957). Sketches for an early version of “Notown”.
100 PER CENT DOG (1958). Evidently satirical tales of a super-patriotic pooch.
STUPOR MONDAY (1959). Comic strip. The rigors of the workaday world.
NASTY, BRITISH AND SHORT (1960). An interesting parody of the private
eye genre, featuring a detective agency of the same name.
SNAKES AND MELONS (1961). Extremely misogynistic tales of a world,
much like our own, in which men and women have detachable penises and
vaginas. Had it been published at the time, it may well have been
regarded as one of the earliest “underground” comics.
ET IN ARCADIA EGO…(1961). The horrors of institutional life in an insane asylum.
TRAGIC ANIMALS (1961). Sketches.
WE MIGHT ALL BE BLOWN TO BITS (1962). Unfinished comic book story
about the Cuban Missile Crisis.
THE STARTLING STORY OF THE UNTOLD TRUTH (1962). A frank, though
somewhat limited, explication of the “Military-Industrial Complex”.
THE BROTHERHOOD OF STRONG MEN (1963). Apparently rejected proposal for
a team comic.
BARNEY GOGOL (1963). A whimsical comic strip combining lowbrow comic
strip buffoonery with highbrow Russian literature.
CAPTAIN DEATH (1963). A strangely morbid superhero parody.
MR. UNIVERSE, SUPREME MASTER OF INFINITE TIME AND SPACE (1964).
Bizarre proposal for a superhero comic.
BOX 11:
TALES FOR YOUNG ‘UNS (1965). Proposal for a Western-themed “kiddie” comic.
HIPSTERZ (1966). This well may be Murph’s earliest attempt to come to
terms with the then-burgeoning “youth culture” of the day.
BEATLE GIRLS (1966). Picture album featuring teenaged girls in various
poses as they listen to the music of The Beatles. It’s interesting to
speculate about the possible impact of this project had it been
published at the time.
I SHOULD GET MARRIED I SHOULD BE GOOD (1966). A surprisingly bitter
autobiographical account of Murph’s first marriage. Among the most
interesting of the unreleased materials. Later redrawn and published
as MY MIDGET MARRIAGE (1992).
IT'S NOT ABOUT ME: AN ANTI MEMOIR (1967). Autobiographical comic.
IT AIN'T GRAND (1967). Autobiographical comic.
GO, SIMBA, GO! (1967). Yet another failed attempt to revive the “jungle” genre.
NATIVE UNREST (1967). Autobiographical comic exploring Murph’s often
ambivalent feelings about race. It is interesting to note that in the
following year, he (voluntarily?) cancelled his racist syndicated
strip LAZYTOWN.
NONCOMPREHENSIBLE DRIBBLE (1967). Drug-soaked autobiographical
sketches. Portions of these were published in XYY COMICS (1973).
BOX 12:
FUCK YOU, I’M INTO JESUS--JESUS IS MY PAL (1968). Scathing attack on
organized religion, particularly the fundamentalist variety. These
themes would recur in 1972s HOLY WATER SOUP #1.
PATCHOULI MAAN (1968). Underground Comic.
ALCOHOL MAN (1968). Underground comic. Denigrates the “booze culture”.
FATTY GETS LAID (1968) Apparently an out-take from HIPPIEHEAD AND
SNACKY #1 (1968).
BLACK INFORMATION (1969). Another ambivalent series of strips about
race, this one about Black nationalism.
PRESIDENT LSD (1969). In 1976, Timothy Leary is implausibly elected President.
CRAZY BREAD (1969). Underground Comic. A history of drug use. A dress
rehearsal for what would later be published as KING HEROIN #1.
THE ADVENTURES OF ‘HASH' BROWN (1969). One page proposal for a
drug-oriented underground comic.
MOBSTERS INC. (1969) Premature attempt to revive the “true crime” genre.
IT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING BABY, IT'S WHERE IT'S AT DADDY! (1970). Zany
one-page “hippie” strip with bigfoot art.
SHOOTING A FLOWER (1970). Apparently an out-take from ACID IS GROOVY
KILL THE PIGS #1.
BOX 13:
Text copy for the never-published THE FLYING ROBOT VS. THE
INVULNERABLE GHOST #5:
BC COMICS AWESOME NEW LINE OF SUPER-HEROES
It is fitting, this current vogue for Super heroes. They are the
success story of our age. They nearly all start out as shmoes; then,
once they gain power, they put on a fetish outfit and beat the batshit
out of mentally ill felons. With that in mind, we at B.C. Comics are
proud to jump aboard this latest despiciably vogueish bandwagon and
present, for your edification:
THE ECLECTIC COMPANY
FEATURING
FAT TAIL...
LAUGHING BOY...

BC COMICS AWESOME NEW LINE OF SUPER-VILLAINS
The current vogue for Super Heroes must, of course, be contrasted to
the equally current need for scapegoats, scarechilds, and yeggs. They,
too, are deemed necessary--otherwise, our so-called Heroes would be
reduced to fighting natural disasters and malefactors of great wealth,
and damn it, that's COMMUNISM.
So, with this in mind, we at B.C. COMICS are constrained to
reproduce, for the very first time, the secret aliases of certain
notorious felons, riff-raff, scamps, hard cons, rascals, freebooters,
recidivists, dole blodgers, slackers, nogoodniks, scofflaws, cribbers,
and "police characters".

In addition, in Boxes 18-20, I found notes and annotations, as well as
a great many unfinished and mostly undated sketches for ideas never
brought to fruition. I have, at least in some cases, assigned them
titles based on their content, and have arranged them roughly in what
in many cases I have guessed to be their chronological order. These
include:
