Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Comedy Comic Book Challenge - 2014
I'm on the board for this challenge! 
Uncle Scrooge: His Majesty, McDuck
Story & Art: Don Rosa
I'm a big Rosa fan, but I don't think I've ever read this one before, about Duckburg having been discovered by Sir Francis Drake, leading to Scrooge's declaring his property an independent kingdom. As always, Rosa taps real-life history and previous Duck lore to drop in a lot of throwaway jokes.

Fwiw, I made a generic thread for general Challenge discussion; so we can stick to topic in the monthly threads.

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Comedy Comic Book Challenge - November 2014
So I just put this in the single issue thread, but it fits here too, and it's one of my favorite things, so please forgive the double post indulgence:
So the last comic book I read was one I created myself, almost 40 years ago.
Growing up, I loved DC's horror books like House of Mystery, Unexpected, and Witching Hour. I especially enjoyed the occasional humor stories in said books, and the one page cartoon gags by Sergio Aragones and the like.
I regret part of this now, but at pretty much the only "purge mode" moment in my entire life, I got rid of most of my comics. (I was moving on to baseball cards or something). But before I gave them away, I went through those DC horror books and cut out all of the humor stories. I never made a cover for it, but this 50 or so page "comic book" is the gem of my collection.
Note the maze that I actually filled out, my block lettering of my name in the 'so stupid to spend $1 on a comic book' certificate, and the 1972 gem of a story that likely inspired the creation of DC's best ever comic, Plop!

Read a couple of my Plop comics last night. They made me LOL just like in 1973.
