- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Underground cartoonist Dan O'Neill had an amazing comic strip in the late 1960s and early 1970s called Odd Bodkins. It started out as a gag strip, but became one of the most epic comic strip arcs of all time, starting with a magic creature in a tree, going to Mars, ending up in Hell, and other crazy adventures. At one point, they find out that cars and smog are a Martian conspiracy to colonize Earth because Martians breathe gasoline.
Anyway, this comic strip made me think of that.
I couldn't find an image of the part where they talk about smog being a Martian conspiracy, but this comes from just afterward-
The book that's collected in is called A Collective Unconscience of Odd Bodkins. It's long out of print, but I highly recommend a copy. Mine is falling apart.
“Magic cookie”
Yeah, I bet, lol.
I don’t think I ever saw this strip when I was younger. Reminds me of Calvin & Hobbes or Bloom County.
Oh they make it very clear what a magic cookie is earlier in the strip because it's used for having hallucinations more than once. At one point, one of the characters eats one and another one crawls into his hallucination.
