Created by Larry Welz of ‘Cherry Poptart’ fame (I’ll explain when you’re older), Fillmore Grinchbottom derives his power from slugging beer and his powers… Well, they’re not something I am willing to go into on a family website. Suffice to say that his right-wing strong-arm act is somewhat unusual among the more counterculture elements of underground comix, and Captain Guts is a memorable (albeit occasionally gross) bit of superhero minutiae.
Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.
