Spy vs. Spy

Hi there, Grey Spy! I believe this is the only time she was used in a newspaper strip.

Bonus: The last "Spy" comic Antonio Prohias had a hand in. He sketched out the gag and Dave Manak did the artwork. From Mad 337, July 1995.

Huh. I don't even know if this early "Spy" comic ever ran in MAD. I don't remember seeing it in the reprint collection.

Taken from the original art:

I know "Spy vs. Spy" is all about these two guys killing each other, but this one is really twisted for me.

They just can't resist each other, much like Petey and Ernesto.
Hey! Speaking of, look who's in today's strip!

Here's the real first strip:

You know, I'm a completely stereotypical geek. I like video games and nerdy TV shows and novels and so on. And I hate sports and all associated cultural paraphernalia. But every time I read this strip, I want to go buy a case of beer and invite everyone I know over to watch the game. I don't even know what game, because I have no idea what kind of games are happening right now, but by God this strip enrages me so much that I will find out and watch it anyway JUST TO SPITE THIS ARTIST.

I do really like the idea of this CEO sitting there in his office with a comical bump on his head, waiting patiently for Inspector Danger to arrive rather than, you know, going to the hospital to deal with what could very well be a concussion.

Start slow by reading Big Ben Bolt, the boxing comic I just posted a few posts up. The new Sunday storyline just started and even involves a nerd vs. jock story that's already way more nuanced and satisfying than anything Intelligent Life has sharted out so far!

Football is starting, and there is no game more stereotypically jock than football.

A lot of letter carriers actually do carry dog treats around on their routes. It calms down the excitable dogs and distracts the mean ones.
