[net.games.trivia] Meta-humor in Dan O'Neill's Odd Bodkins

ansok@spp3.UUCP (Gary Ansok) (12/24/85)

I always enjoyed the Odd Bodkins comic strip that ran in the S.F.
Chronicle during the '60s; it liked meta-humor:

``Fred, people will never believe this is a for-real comic strip
if you keep climbing on the word balloons.''

I recommend the collection _The Collective Unconscious [sp?] of Odd
Bodkins_ to anyone who likes meta-humor, atrocious puns, and just
plain wierdness.  O'Neill gets a lot into anti-establishment politics and
somewhat into drug humor, but it's a good laugh.

Anyone else out there remember this strip?
