Tales of the Desperate ~ Tickle Monsters of Hollywood

[C.A.B.]

Liner Notes: We take a break from our regularly scheduled programing of Tales of the Desperate to bring you a new homage, Tickle Monsters of Hollywood magazine. My fetishist take on a classic rag published when I was growing up, when monsters were wicked boss, man. Hilarious now, looking back, that the publisher made a gold mine out of rehashing old stills from seemingly any cheaply obtained or rights-exhausted horror / slasher flick. All strung together with the most puerile and trumped-up filler writing anyone would want to ignore... we just bought it for the pictures... especially the quasi-nude torture scenes and Vapirella's boobs. Truth be told, in a kids world of 15 and 20 cent comic books, this $1.00 mag was usually out of the average kid's allowance range, but, crap mag or no, where else could a kid find such a reliable collection of classic monsters?

This is absolute genius C.A.B., done to perfection! When I was but a young lad, I actually had a collection of "famous monsters of filmland" magazines... wish I still had them 🙁

Very interesting cover art. Thanks for sharing it here. 😀

Nice idea.

Art-wise... I really appreciate seeing rendition of wrinkled face. I see the expertise come out naturally with it. On to the theme.... It's a really (really) scary theme, but of course unique, intense and brilliant... Genius!

Beautiful work - the combination of pulpy horror and titillation with the tickle fetish is an absolute win! The mad scientist's face is absolutely perfect - love it!

(I am going to have to get back to work on Dr Grackel now...) 😀

It's easy to portray this fetish in art or written word tagged with the usual themes of dark/non con, etc. for effect. It does indeed take a genius to effectively find and portray the humor in it though.

This is awesome. Damn, so much of your stuff needs to be on walls. 😀

An obligatory "Aw, shucks..." is required here. 😀 Thank you, Kered.

Thank you, Mils.

Nice idea.

Thank you, Sir. You can blame some made-for-tv-movie Frankenstein for the source... it was a hand, originally. But... the fetishist is as the fetishist does.

It is pretty disturbing... I like it that way. LOL

One of your best!

Gracias, Senior.

I would LOVE to see that project come to fruition!

I have works on walls... do restroom stalls count? LOL!

That's why I don't drink, socially.

Another piece of fangmail for your great idea!! You may have given those NESTies another idea for an abduction scenario! Raving bout your Raven feathers, sir!
