Bizarre Releases from Bad Idea Comics

Bad Idea comics produces very few titles. They have been on a kick for Kickstarter items lately, but as a comic producer, their comics are all very off-kilter. Their latest releases, only two since this summer, came out within a few weeks of each other in November, and I captured a picture of the pair just to show off the weirdness:


In the first, "Inebrio Horsefeathers," Inebrio is a platypus (I think, but it isn't ever mentioned) and a mate on a sailing vessel. In order to get rid of some unwanted kraken advancements, he concocts a beverage of rum and turpentine. It eventually ends up in his stomach, which is where the cover image comes from. (The name is based on Horatio Hornblower, if you couldn't figure that out.)

In the second, "The Destroyer," one of Oppenheimer's crewmen in NM has a bit of an accident, gets all weirdly powerful, and, er, visits the center of a atomic explosion.

I wanted to post these two pictures together because they highlight two wildly bonkers stories, totally disparate styles, and fantastic covers.
