Jabberwocky Graphix’s Size Comics

Good morning everyone,

Today we’re going to analyze two comics which were published in 1990 by Jabberwocky Graphix. These were created by Brad W. Foster, owner of Jabberwocky Graphix, and Robert Outlaw, an artist and writer. (NOTE: Previously, There She Grows reviewed another Jabberwocky comic “The Adventures of Olivia #5” from 1996.)

The first comic is Goodies #72 featuring three super heroines called The Living Dolls in a story entitled “Pounded by Hammer.” Robert Outlaw drew and wrote this issue while Brad W. Foster inked the cover. It’s a small comic only measuring 4 1/4 inches in width and 5 1/2 inches in height.

It was published in May 1990, but copyright notices on the artwork date back to 1989 and the first page gives a copyright notice of 1988.

The Living Dolls consist of Mabel Stevens, a science major, Bettina “Boobsie” Wannamaker, a cheerleader, and Lash Chain, a punk rocker. They are students at Metro City University.

The trio appear to be a crime-fighting group similar to Charlie’s Angels. However, instead of a man named Charlie Townsend giving them direction a woman named Marilyn issues their orders. Marilyn is their secret liaison with S.H.A.P.E. (Super-Hero Association for the Prevention of Evil).

At the beginning of Pounded by Hammer, Marilyn alerted the three tiny ladies to a recent kidnapping. The super-villain Hammer abducted the governor’s daughter and demanded the release of the state’s most dangerous criminals in exchange for her freedom. He intended to build a massive criminal gang with those dastardly criminals.

Hammer’s facility, the Island of Evil, has a surveillance system which can detect normal-sized intruders within a 5-mile radius. He threatened to kill his hostage if anyone attempted a rescue. However, the twelve-inch tall ladies and their sleek doll-mobile are small enough to slip through and arrive undetected! I won’t described the plot any further in order to avoid spoilers.

Regarding negatives, this appears to have been written without the assistance of an automated spell-checker. That would explain minor typographic errors such as “govenor” instead of governor, “tary” instead of tarry, and “theives” instead of thieves. None of those made the plot unintelligible as the meaning always shone through, but those errors gave it an amateurish feel since modern comics typically use a spell checker. I think most of the text was written by hand which would also explain an unexplained space in the middle of the word “sim ilar” on page 3.

Additionally, Hammer had enormous fists which was perhaps not the best design choice. At one point his fists were broken and readers might then get confused when they see how enormous his fists are. Are those hands big because he was injured like the cartoon throbbing trope in which an injured animated character has swollen digits? Or were his hands the same size as always because his super-power was big hands? This wasn’t a major problem, but I did have to re-read earlier pages.

Taken as a whole the positives outweighed the negatives and this was a quick but fun read.

The next story is “The Bimbos and the Beanstalk!’ from The Adventures of Olivia issue number 2, released in the summer of 1990.

The action begins in a large mansion owned by the curvy Sylvia Wellington. A gardener, the aptly named Mr Green, in Sylvia’s employment created a very large seed which he believed could “feed millions.” However, when Sylvia gives him an impromptu blowjob she nonchalantly tosses the seed into her swimming pool. Lo and behold that leads to the seed immediately sprouting and reaching up into the heavens. The two busty ladies climb up it in search of “fabulous wealth.” Once on top they encounter a giant called Briar. Unfortunately, Briar is a lonely man without a woman big enough to handle his giant cock. Not to fear though, Olivia and Sylvia are willing to satisfy even a man whose penis is longer than their entire bodies! So, bit of a spoiler, but this does conclude with a “happy ending” 🙂 (SIDE NOTE: Briar returns the favor by giving an enlarged Mi-Hy a “really good, soul-blazing, hormone-rinsing orgasm” in Olivia #5.)

In contrast to Goodies #72, The Adventures of Olivia is more explicit. Women got naked in Goodies, but both men and women got naked in Olivia’s story. Furthermore, people fuck in Adventures of Olivia! If you’re familiar with the MPA film rating system then Olivia would be NC-17 (or X-rated) compared to Goodies R-rating. (SIDE NOTE: Olivia’s comic also contained “Olivia’s Model Man” and “The Housewife’s Handy Helper” which did not include size fetish themes.)

Overall, I recommend both comics. Although, Goodies #72 is short and lacks sex so it may have more value as a historical piece (a comic emphasizing the sex appeal of supernaturally small women when such was rare if not completely unknown) than erotica. To be clear this may be the first-ever adult comic in which shrunken ladies are nude and unabashedly flaunt their sex appeal. For instance, in one panel a naked Lash tells a pair of goons “How about a little piece of pussy boys?” Goodies #72 created a team of super heroines who could shrink (I for one would love to see a continuation), but it seems that after 34 years we will not see any more of The Living Dolls.

I also want to highlight the introduction to Olivia #2 which outlined the goal of that series, as seen in the left column below, and noted that many readers asked for size fetish content, as seen in the right column. Nice to confirm that size-fetish fans were around in the era before widespread public use of the Internet. They just had far fewer creators making such content! Less nice was the reminder that “professional imposers-of-their-own-tastes-on-everyone-else” were busy back then and keep trying in modern times to prevent adult consumers from buying porn as demonstrated by the recent policy change at Gumroad which will no longer host mature content.

Brad Foster sells hard-copies of Goodies and The Adventures of Olivia at the following site: https://www.jabberwockygraphix.com/adultmain.html I briefly corresponded with Brad in July and he confirmed that The Adventures of Olivia #2 & #5 and Goodies #72 were the only comics with size-fetish stories. Goodies #73 has a cover with a fairy sitting on a mushroom, but according to Brad there is “nothing inside about size changing.“

That is it for today folks. Stay tuned to There She Grows for another post coming soon. I’ll try to complete one or more requested reviews next. Until then, keep growing!
