The cover to my copy of THE ADVENTURES OF JELL-O MAN AND WOBBLY #1. Copyright 1991 Kraft General Foods, Inc.

I’m not sure how readily I should admit this, but I remember reading The Adventures of Jell-O Man and Wobbly #1 as a kid. A lot. Why? Because, probably as part of some School Cafeteria Lunch corporate agreement, there was a copy of it in my elementary school’s library. I distinctly recall that, for some reason, I checked it out nearly a dozen times.

Until I discovered this copy at the Clifton Blvd. location of Big Fun, all I could remember was the cover. After flipping through it a few times I can sort of see how 1991 Scott may have been caught up in the crazy colors, product familiarity, and clumsy dinosaurs.

2013 Scott is not so amused.

If you’re trying to wrap your head around just what the heck this comic consists of, imagine an expanded version of those Hostess Snack Cake ads that would run in old Marvel and DC comic books. Its goal is the same, and the content makes about as much sense. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
