Gothic Mort


The Devil is in the details as they say, and I was sad to se that although Randy correctly identified the mort as a, "marvel bunny", he was unable to identify the mort as the, "Hoppy, the Marvel Bunny". Oh well, I guess he will have to settle for his consolation prize, a bouncing baby boy! Congratulations to the Price family!
Back to the Mort, Hoppy started out as a parody of the Marvel Family. When he spoke the magic name of Shazam, he gained the powers of the gods Salamander, Hogules, Antlers, Zebreus, Abalone, Monkury (yep, ladies and gentlemen, them's animal puns). With time, Hoppy was moved into the proper Captain Marvel Earth, which would eventually become the proper DC Comics Earth post-Crisis on Infinite Earths. Time will tell, one supposes, whether or not Hoppy exists in a post Infinite Crisis world.
Okay, new Morts are up. This one will stretch you, I think, but they have recently become stars of their own monthly comic. Good luck!
