The Witch of the North bestows a bit of magic on Fleischer as she sets him on his way down the Yellow Brick Road with a kiss. A long kiss. In some countries a banned kiss.
Shortly before Fleischer heads down the Yellow Brick Road, he learns about the Winkies … and laughs.
The secrets of the Glass Onion begin to be revealed as Media Geek and the gang encounter the Pop Culture Guru, a walking encyclopedia of show biz history who has crossed over into another dimensional plane, but is back to offer some hints on the Glass Onion.
Fleischer is moving closer to hitting the Yellow Brick Road to find the great and powerful and Oz, but before doing so he’s given the now smooshed magical silver shoes of the Wicked Witch of the East.
Media Geek, Eileen and the rest get the Glass Onion and Philco television set home and while he can’t wait to start using it, there’s a bit of a problem in activating it.
Some years ago we elected to start a series of strips within Fleischer and the Group titled Al’s Place, offering up comic vignettes featuring different groupings of the characters making up The Group. This was one of the first.
On the way home with the Glass Onion, Media Geek and the others encounter Fleischer on the streets of Generic City in the midst of a battle with the vile Corona head, who he disposed of in a cathartic moment.
Strip 2 of Media Geek and the Glass Onion continues the tale of discovery as MG seemingly has had his dreams come true (much to the annoyance of Eileen that those dreams involve a Glass Onion) and Roddy proves himself to be a casual kleptomaniac as the gang begins the journey home.
Media Geek and the Glass Onion kicks off with this installment in which a dream has led Michael Greco, his girlfriend Eileen and friends Roddy and Timmy Tribble into a cavern that house the device that will allow them to cross dimension, fictional realms, the multiverse, space, time and much more.
The first dabbling I did with comic strips was about 15 years ago with the character of Media Geek. At the time, there were no co-stars (such as Fleischer, Eileen, Roddy or Timmy Tribble), just MG interacting with different people. Well, in this really early strip, he’s interacting with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The script is by […]
Having been a lifelong fan of the original ’60s Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows, and less than a life-long fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (only because the latter began airing 30 years later), it occurred to me that it might be fun to bring those two franchises together through the prism of Media Geek.
Some years ago I officially went insane and decided to rewrite L. Frank Baum’s first Oz novel (which, like the first 14 books, is public domain), The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, taking Dorothy Gale out and putting my own superhero character, Fleischer, in. A draft of the novel is finished and being revised, and myself and […]
