MST3K refs in comics...
Michael K. Neylon
Take a look at Animaniacs #29: "The Return of Hello Nurse" - There's a
panel with several ninjas popping out of various places with shouts of
"Hikeeba", "Gymkata", "Manos", and "Eegah"!
(Now, I know these are intential, as I've talked to the writers of
this one (Sean and Jenn), and both are admitted MST3K fans, and although
they've gotten close with MST3K refs (such as 'Torgon's House of
Pancakes'), this was the first obvious ref. However, they were
surprised when I mentioned juliewa's secret ninja force, and didn't
realize how close they came to refering to that :-)

Was this episode before or after the "Potty Emergency" episode that showed
a spaceship with "MST3K" written on the side?

Also back in 92 there was a series by marvel called "Bill & Ted's
Excellent Adventures" which was written by Evan Dorkin (writer & artist on
this and "Milk & Cheese" and an epsiode or 3 of "Space Ghost Coast to
coast") Well in one Issue our old pals from the movie are running through
a corridor of some sort when they mention "Totally MST3000, wholey
unconvincing" ,which still to this day i wonder if they mean MST is cheap
(there IS a reason for that!!) or those doors were, either way the series
died after only 12 issues.

Either way, I've still got them bagged and boarded.
Dorkin's a genius, even when working for hire!

I thought that was an episode of the TV show, not of the comics...
In any event: it would be after, since Sean & Jen have only been
writing for the comics for a little over a year.
Why do I know this? They're two good friends of mine whom I should
call/write more often....

Hey, have any of you read the Grifter (of WildC.A.T.S. fame)
one-shot, written by steven T. Seagle? It has Grifter commenting on a
laboratory saying it looks like "something that came out of Mystery
Science Theatre 3000"

Actually, I was angry at the lameness of the MST3K intro in "Supreme" #3.
I thought is was pretty hack and unfunny, and a little upset at the
blatant copyright infringement, too.

Oops! My mistake. I thought you *were* talking about the tv show. (I
just thought you meant Animaniacs episode #29.)

And if MAD Magazine qualifies as a comic, I've seen Tom Servo and Crow
all over the place in there. Any spoof of an outer space movie usually
has a sketch or two of the 'bots in the background.
