Doug Grey's The Eye of Mongombo is one of the funniest comics ever, though the series never finished. The hero, Cincinnati Carlson, gets turned into a duck on page 3 - and stays that way through seven issues. The duck is a china collectible from Red Rose tea, padded with green putty. The tiki is a salt shaker for luau parties washed in brown. The mask is Princess Kida's from Disney's Atlantis. The vine is from the Aurora Man from U.N.C.L.E. models. All Dull-Coated, then the gem was glued on.
