Electric Comic Book
Appearance

---|---|
Electric Comic Book is the second album by the American garage rock band Blues Magoos, the follow-up to their successful debut release Psychedelic Lollipop. The psychedelic rock/garage rock formula is followed again on this release but without a high-charting single. A couple of tracks, "Intermission" and "That's All Folks" (a very brief, hard-rocking parody of the Looney Tunes end theme) showcase the band's bizarre sense of humor.
Three singles were released from Electric Comic Book, "Summer is the Man", "Life is Just a Cher O'Bowlies", and "There's a Chance We Can Make It", the latter being the only to chart and its B-Side, "Pipe Dream," charting higher.
