The Phantom Blot Visits Joe!

The Phantom Blot Visits Joe! was a partially-unlicensed comic one-pager written and drawn by Aristide Twain and titled (and added to in prose) by Joe Torcivia. It features the Phantom Blot, a prison warden, and members of the Society of the Scarlet Crabs, Guild of the Violet Vampire Bats, Gang of the Green Gorilla, Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles, Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes, and Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (the latter representative being Pythagoras-858)."“Mr M” and a comics collector named Joe are mentioned, and Singapore Joe is obliquely referenced.
==Plot==
Back in jail once again, the Phantom Blot recounts the rather unusual circumstances which landed him back there — involving a vain quest to collect all eight issues of his comic book!
===References===
*Joe lives in New York owns a complete set of Phantom Blot comics.
===Continuity===
*As per Hare-Brained Hooligans (2018) and the long-running comments in-joke on Joe Torcivia's The Issue At Hand itself, the Strange-Coloured Secret Societies are once again shown to have some strange interest in Joe Torcivia.
*The prison warden asks if the mysterious "Joe" mentioned by the Blot was "from Singapore", referencing Carl Barks's Singapore Joe (1946).
*In the comments section of the blog upload of the comic, the real Torcivia, writing in-character as the version who had been robbed by the Blot, expanded on a few details from the story:
**He noted that "he" wasn't at home when the foiled robbery took place.
**The issues visible in the last panel were identified as #5 and #7, with Torcivia bemoaning the Gorilla's fist resting on the former “dropping [its quality] from a FINE to a POOR with but one flick of the fist”.
**The issue held by the Crocodile, which does not match any real-life issue, was explained as “a (future) copy of PHANTOM BLOT # 75 written by 27-year-old me and drawn by Paul Murry just before he retired. The last comic he ever did, and one of my very first for early ‘80s Whitman! And it… was/could-have-been… a doozy! That’s the way you gotta roll with those chronal clobbering Crocs!”
