A little word or two about Mr. Greenblatt the Great!

This is the back cover of CARTOON FLOPHOUSE # 1, now available via the info below or at your neighborhood comic book shops and finer distributors of comics books. It's 48 pages of funny, starring America's hi-wackiest, willy-dilliest bellhop, Greenblatt the Great!

So keep checking back, America! Here comes Greenie!

In the meantime, buy the just-released CARTOON FLOPHOUSE # 1 FEATURING GREENBLATT THE GREAT! comic book!
