Item Description
This needs 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!)
This cover was prepared to give to the attendees at the second luncheon and is cancelled in Burbank CA on June 24, 2006. The franking itself is odd and non-concordant - the Chesapeake Bay has no real relation to the meeting!
The cover spotlights the group's unofficial mascot, Aadward the Aadball Aardvark, getting smacked with a fish by oddball comic book character Manuel Pacifico, a two-fisted Tuna Fisherman, whose comic covers are depicted on the reverse. "Fish-in-the-Face" covers are a popular motif in the "Oddball Comics" presentation performed annually by comic authority Scott Shaw at the San Diego Comic Con
You most likely will have the oddest cover collection around if you add this specimens to your album!
