Item Description
These need a little explanation --- some years ago, there was a very popular internet discussion board called "Oddball Comics" that hosted lively discussions of the weirdest and strangest comics published in the '50s and '60s.A group of 10 or 12 Los Angeles-area fans of the website got together in 2005 and 2006 for face-to-face discussions of wacky comics and other oddball aspects of life at a strange little restaurant in Burbank! (it is called The CORAL Café, but all the interior decorations have a Western flavor, so it is assumed the owners misspelled 'CORRAL' when naming the place!)
These two covers were prepared to give to the attendees and were cancelled in Burbank CA on the date of the luncheons. The franking itself is odd and non-concordant - the stamp subjects have no real relation to the meeting!
The first cover spotlight's the group's unofficial mascot, Aadward the Aadball Aardvark, dressed as The Bouncer, also seen on the reverse on the cover of his decidedly weird comic book. (the label depicts Oddball Comics founder and head Oddball - noted cartoonist Scott Shaw!).
The second cover shows Aadward getting smacked with a fish by oddball character Manuel Pacifico, a two-fisted Tuna Fisherman, whose comic covers are also depicted on the reverse.
You most likely will have the oddest cover collection around if you add these two specimens to your album!
