Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Actually, itās āYgorā not āIgorā and āYgorā wasnāt a hunchback but a shepard with a broken neck who āstole bodieā¦they said.ā The hunchback assistant to Frankenstein was Fritz played by Dwight Frye who was later hanged with his whip by Boris Karloffās Monster. Ygor was played by Bela Lugosi and this guy doesnāt look like either of them, but the popular misconception that āIgorā is today.
either that, or like me, theyāve read a lot of Terry Pratchett! heās got a whole rather large family of Igors from Uberwald. he doesnāt have enough thumbs to be a proper Igor though.
Itās definitely my interpretation of Fritz. Fritz was a much darker character in the movie, so I gave him sort of a happy-go-lucky facial expression, they way that LIO would see the fringe of society.
Heās got to learn to spell hi own name. His sign should read, āHello, my name is ā¦Sam A Terryā Is he any relation to Abby Normal, from Franhkensteenās basement? They look like they might be cousins or something.
SherlockWatson: I had Young Frankenstein on my mind too. And now youāve inspired me to pull out that DVD againā¦;)
Mark: You remind me of what I love about being able to read cartoons on the Internet, having been a cartoon fan for thirty years or soā¦Iām 39; I started young with an enduring love of āPeanuts.ā :) Here on the āNet, I can actually communicate with the people who write and draw my favorite cartoons! And both Lio and Heart of the City have turned into two of my favorites - thank you so much for that!

Itās Quasimodo, the friendly neighborhood grave digger.
Or, he could be starting a new career as a reserection manā¦.
rayannina over 15 years ago
No, itās Igor, Iām pretty sure.
Check out the hood ornament on Lioās trike. Memento mori?

Lioās not sureā¦but maybe heāll play a hunch.
Kamino Neko over 15 years ago
Pacejv - glad Iām not the only one who thought of Pet Semetary. But for me, it was the theme from the movie getting stuck in my headā¦.
carmy over 15 years ago
I want to see what he digs up.
Sisyphos over 15 years ago
I hope Lio has room for Quasimodo on his trike; who knows how far it is to the sematery!

Mark, Iām giving your book to 25 yr old son for Christmas. Amazingly, he isnāt familiar!
As always, love the strip!
mtatulli Premium Member over 15 years ago
Haha ā¦thatās funny! A 25-year-old unfamiliar with a newspaper comic strip? Thatās incredibly normal these days.
Thanks for exposing him and supporting my strip!

Sherlock Watson over 15 years ago
I want to say something clever here, but all I can think of right now is Peter Boyle belting out, āPuttinā on da riiiiiitz!!ā
Templo S.U.D. over 15 years ago
Merrymarg, Quasimodo is the bell ringer of Notre-Dame. Youāre thinking of Victor Frankensteinās aide Igor.
