Ephemera. Condition: Fine. An exceptional 16-piece original comic-art sequence published across four full pages in Road and Track magazine's June 1978 issue, and one of Mott's finest works. Stan Mott (1933?2022) was one of the best-known and most-beloved car cartoonists, with work appearing in Road and Track, Automobile, and other magazines. He is best remembered for his silly cars, including the Cyclops II, described as "the world's cheapest ($14.32) and stupidest (fetal seating positions) car." Many car enthusiasts built versions of the car and Road and Track featured their custom built Cyclops in dozens of magazine articles. This mixed-media cartoon, in pen and ink, watercolor, and gouache, is a fever dream of the Cyclops II, which begins the wordless narrative parked outside a house. As night falls, it transforms into a Bugatti Type 41 Royale Napoleon Coupe, and races through Los Angeles, finding adventure and madness on the way. In one scene, the Bugatti tears through a live TV commercial being shot on a used car lot (a frequent late-night TV staple of LA TV in the 1970s). In 2012, Mott sent an email to the previous owner of this magnificent piece of automotive cartooning: "The actual art was done [in] early 1978 on board my yacht "Deniz Agaci" in Malta. But the seeds had been planted decades before in Southern California: the freeways, McDonalds, used cars, the Oscars, and to top it all, the late night chase on Mulholland Drive. I've adored the Bugatti.ever since I saw a photo of it in 1954. To me it is utterly the most elegant and magnificent piece of rolling art ever created. Other than Cyclops, of course." "The concept went together fast. But the art took a month. One of my favorite panels was the go at McDonalds. The image of 19-cent burgers sold in nour neon demanded that green aliens work the place, so I just enhanced the weirdness by getting out my Wierd File of vehicles I'd done over the years and lined 'em up around the Mac stand?all the way to the horizon. Wheee! And to top it all, I had to get in the spectacularly beautiful night panorama of L.A. seen from Mulholland Drive, racing up there midst the rich, famous, and degenerate. " "Night Out is personal, almost biographical in a surrealistic sense?[stuff] which I would have loved to actually have done!!!" Original Mott cartoon art is very scarce on the market. The individual paintings were done on stiff paper cut to size, which have been mounted loosely onto a backing board, matted and glazed (with anti-UV Plexiglass), and put into two matching 33-by-25-inch frames. The individual paintings measure roughly five inches square for the six small pieces; the nine larger pieces are about 9-1/2 by 4-1/2; the title piece is smaller. The condition of the frames and the art is excellent. Compared to the published version, two of the images are in reverse order; it is not clear if the framing reflects Mott's original intention or a mistake in the framing.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Never judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes," especially if they are wearing high heels. Stan Mott's hilarious and controversial graphic novel hooks an afterburner to this old saw and blasts it into the realm of hyper empathy. Zelda McClintok, beautiful, blond, spoiled rotten daughter of a manically possessive Texan multibillionaire, and Adam Hawks, tall, dark, handsome, multiracial, dead poor, womanizing hustler from the barrios of East L.A. die at the same instant. To their mutual horror, they return to life in the other's body. They meet. It's hate at first sight. They fight, but discover while grappling with their own bodies on the floor, there might be an upside to their condition. They decide to work out their differences on board his rustic Turkish caique moored at the lush Greek island of Rhodes.with his two gorgeous live-in female crew. Can they? Will he be able to con some much needed cash out her daddy? Will he almost be raped three times in the first week? Will he try to redeem his masculinity by seducing his two female crew? Will she retaliate by coming out as Little Bo Peep on the local gay boat? Will they ever get away to sort their vast differences alone? Will she get him pregnant? Or will her daddy get fed up with the whole mess and order his private army to mistakenly rub out his daughter? The answers to these and other burning questions are all in the lavishly illustrated full color graphic novel "The Absolute Alliance". View 16 pages on Amazon FREE! This item is printed on demand.
