The Only Known Comic by Eugene Teal: Frogs Sunday Funnie


Culled from an issue of Weirdo, here's what is probably the most mysterious comic I've ever seen. I can't make any sense of it! Any translators?

Hmm...well it was "discovered" by Mr. "R. Crumb"...

but it's meaning is completely lost to me. Unless it's about the deeper meaning and significance of all life around us.

Probably not, but I tried.

Yeah, the thought crossed my mind that Crumb drew it up, but if you read the magazine, that just doesn't fit.

I've grown to really like the strip, in its absurdity.

Back around 1970 this was published in (I think) the Berkeley Barb. I was working in Oakland and one of my co-workers was a black man named Teal. I asked him if was related to Eugene Teal. He wasn't but he did know who he was. My recall is sketchy but I think he said something like he was this crazy old guy who went around trying to sell his crazy drawings in East Oakland. I wish I remembered more but at least that indicates Eugene Teal was not a creation of R. Crumb, or R. Brand.

of course like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to inform the reality nevertheless I’ll definitely come again again.

Teal had his cartoons published in a Berkeley local Black paper.
