Space Angel by Rev. Dave


Man, I loved this show (along with Clutch Cargo) when I was a kid growing up in the 60's. I didn't know who Alex Toth was at the time, but I dig the art just the same. Little known fact about the show and the human lips spliced in, was that the lips were one woman, who lip-synced the audio track by putting her mouth inside a tube that had lights and the camera. This kept the lip from moving around too much making it easier to use later. Unlike when Conan O'Brian does it where the actor tries (fails) to not move. The result is the lips travel all over the place on the photo of the celebrity that they're making fun of. But then, this makes it fun, so there's that.
