329. Mr. T on Crack

August 3, 2011

Q: Looking for a cartoon story about Mr. T on crack. Gets all skinny and sickly.

A: Cartoon Carol says: “The O-Team: Mr. T in Dustbusters” ran in the May ’85 (Celebrity Roast) issue. Written by Tony Kisch, with great art by Adam Kubert. (The previous O-Team comic, “Mr. T in G Marks The Spot” appeared in the January ’85 (Good Clean Sex) issue.) Thanks, Carol!

I'm not sure what issue(s) (I'll get back to you), but Mr. T appeared in two monochrome comic-book parodies called "The O-Team", probably during the El Cheapo Lampoon era of '85 - '86. It's in the second one that Mr. T gets hooked on crack and wastes away. He even hocks the gold smiley-face medal Mrs. Reagan gave him for his anit-drug work.

OK, I looked it up. "The O-Team: Mr. T in Dustbusters" ran in the May '85 (Celebrity Roast) issue. Written by Tony Kisch, with great art by Adam Kubert. (The previous O-Team comic, "Mr. T in G Marks The Spot" appeared in the January '85 (Good Clean Sex) issue.)
