TRRH's Secret Mission to Korea - DharmaDaDa Grigster (disciple of master Erni Baer)

TRRH visits a secret, abandoned lab in Korea where the Monkey Purge began. Grigster is there waiting. He is dressed like DharmaDaDa Erni Baer. He claims Erni is his master & has enlightened him through Trashpo. He has RK (roadkill) branded on his forehead. He presses TRRH for the formula (of the cryptic circles). Shots ring out. Grigster escapes into the TOXIS pool.

Erni, thinking of roch star journeys in search of truth: Do you recall - Brian Jones produced an album of Moroccan drum music "The Pipes of Pan." I read recently that Brion Gysin oversaw the whole thing and turned on Jones to the music and was with Brian Jones during the recording in Morocco. I've had the album for years. It's interesting, I think.

"The Manchurian Candidate" is also an underlying reference.

Very interesting - when I do my best to read the body language and facial expressions, George strikes me as being the only one who seems 100% sincere. But, of course, we know the story too well.

The "Adventure" is part of a long series. Indeed, the precise location is North Korea.

I am genuinely interested to see what you receive next from GA.

TRRH is an international chick of mystery. She is a master of disguise who uses several different identities. The mission to Korea was highly secret.

I was hoping for your views on the matter of disciples. Indeed, I would think there might be some Karmic consequences as you write. And, seriously, the DharmaDaDa presence in mail-art is having an influence on the work itself. This turned into an interesting discussion.

As your photos below suggest, the Hindu side of it has been, at least at times, conscious of hairstyles.

I don't think any parody is meant here. I do wonder what impact this will have on Grigori's art.

One message of the metaphysical comic is that The Master cannot be responsible for the deeds of his followers. The path of the pork rind is a maze to the perpetually confused - those who paint themselves into corners with their own brushes.

And it's also about who has the coolest hair.

At this rate, Dark wall is going to have to create a whole spin-off comic series: The Adventures and Teachings of DharmaDaDa Erni Baer. His fans are indeed supportive.

The characters are not going to appear as they look in real life; it's not possible,

DharmaDaDa Grigster branded an RK symbol on his forehead when he was at the Ashram. That is meant to be a reference to Charles Manson, who also self-inflicted a symbol on his forehead.

I did notice the impossibly luscious hair ;-)) You are reading my mind, Cheryl, I was about to say that TRRH must have paid a visit to that same fab hair stylist as Mona. Highlights and extensions. She is more and more fair, is she trying to look like Groot? I miss Groot...

Grigori disguised as Erni? A sure give away: the Road Kill markings  on the forehead could never be the Haptic Werewolf! Erni loves animals and purple wax santas:

I love these responses.

Obviously a few friends have guessed this comic is about the fact that Grigori Antonin has embraced the art, philosophy, and teachings of our dear and esteemed friend Erni Baer aka DharmaDaDa - as shown by his enthusiasm for the Erni Baer Fan Club. I agree - the comic book character chosen has little resemblance to Erni. Branding "RK" - roadkill - on your forehead is not a requirement of the Erni Baer Fan Club. I should know; I am a member. I do not believe TRRH in the comic bears any resemblance to a character she is based on in real life.

Those gun shots? They are Groot Suster arriving to save TRRH. Be grateful you were spared any more exposure in this already infamous comic.

All in great fun.
