Uncanny Old Gags Series - Gary Lee-Nova
As it turns out BC artist Gary Lee-Nova shares an admiration for one of the artists that provided me awe when I was a youth (along with Oldenburg, Kienholz, Yokoo, Rauschenberg, Mel Ramos et al.....) Jess.
It's difficult to find examples of his work online, but below are a couple most notably one of the Tricky Cad
click above 4 McHuge
"pasteups" Series (I got to see a real one, up close, at the Art Institute of Chicago years ago. Wow.) Now that art is dead, (I mean seriously, at this point in history a buncha millionaires collectively deciding anything NEW is worth a lot of money is just insane and they can all get advice from overpaid bullshitting experts in their little masturbatory money wasting clubhouse, while the rest of the world creates art for everybody.) I figure I can offer my view with the best of them - and that's all I'm doing - opining. Folks say he was proto-pop (using comics as a medium prior to Lichtenstein's use of single panels) or post dada (his syntactical structure freeing the eye in the talk balloons of the Tricky Cad series) but I say alot of his non-Tricky Cad work
click above 4 McHuge
also prefigures Robert Williams, (even though I don't know if Williams ever even saw his work) too, so he might be the Grandaddy of outsider art as well. Or it's all just synergy x zeitgeist = WTF.
But creative concepts can lie dormant like bacteria on the lunar lander camera or in a bee's gut in amber, only to be revived through a parthenogenesis that lets artists, once they know it's OK for an idea to thrive, to produce work relating to it - so back to Gary, who has worked on a series called Uncanny Old Gags, which remixes Nancy comics with results that while not directly related to Jess' work is equally interesting. He has greenlighted me sharing these here and has shown me some NEW works which seem as compelling if not more..... so here's 4 pieces in a combination of pasteups and silkscreens (Correct me if I'm wrong, Gary) using his current idiom of remixed comics - 2 are entitled Uncanny Old Gags, which I will restate is an anagram of Nancy and Sluggo.
So-
Here are the works:
Uncanny Old Gags #1:

Revisiting The Greatest Nancy Panel Ever Drawn
I was on The Woodring Monitor back in July, and saw the Greatest Nancy Panel Ever Drawn.
Blogged by Jim Woodring It's a favorite stopping place, because you get to see ephemeral, sketchy, long-lost and/or new work accompanied by his observations either direct or virtual.
My Mother used to say, "Nancy- it's never funny - It's never funny!!" But I read it every day anyway (as I suspect she did). Probably because of Ernie Bushmiller's style: enigmatically classic - you had to look at tha little spikes that comprised Nancy's hair, Aunt Fritzi's fine-bomb looks, and Sluggo's mix of guy-who-would-kick-your-ass and pal. It's how I pictured Mom's childhood - not funny.
This particular Sluggo panel got me good. I know it's gilding the lily but I just had to create this piece, so speakers up & enjoy
Wow: Mr Bali Hai at Eye of the Goof sent this analysis that can only stand as an elaboration of the beliefs of my dear deceased mother: What Is Fun? Delicioso. Now- god forbid he gives me a link.
You Tube, that wonderful resource was kinda wonky , so here's the same thing on Google video as insurance:

Sparkler Love from Nancy
Nancy makes the scene again.

This was so falling apart, I haven't even read it.
Sparkler was a good value - 52 pages - a compilation of different titles-
Ella Cinders- with high priced society dames becoming luchadoras
Tarzan the Ape Man (monkey! monkey! monkey!) making the Tek Jansen scene:
Sluggo making an early reference to this fine blog (picture's a link to a wallpaper)
Pud!:
Strange goings-on with the Sons of Abraham.......:
Red Ryder shootin' yer eye out, kid:
Katzenjammer Kids screwing everything up (expect to see this revisited again at Christmas):
and South American root foods:
and another wallpaper for you kiddies:
So, uh, have fun kiddies!

Crap Nancy 1
Hey, Dell comics are good comics.......they insist every issue.
I don't know who did this but it's not Bushmiller, more like his beatnik nephew or something....

link@pic link@pic link@pic link@pic link@pic link@pic
But, y'know, Nancy looked like this pretty much for much of my later childhood I guess.
My favorite thing is that the first bug she sees is a house centipede.

More Nancy in Sparkler 41 from 1945
1945....
Just one story this time. I was reminded by Frankenstein comics guy that Bushmiller used to draw Nancy with a toothpick. The Tootsie Roll ad in the back is fantastic.
Spark Man...WTF?

Hey Kids! Cuts Like Razors!
