Captain Goodvibes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Captain Goodvibes, aka the Pig of Steel, was the creation of Australian cartoonist Tony Edwards and became an icon of Australian surfing culture in the 1970s. Goodvibes started life as a pork chop, accidentally mutated by a chance nuclear plant explosion.
The Goodvibes cartoons were first published in Australia's surfing bible Tracks (magazine). Their popularity led to the publication of several Goodvibes comic books including the 'Whole Earth Pigalogue' (1975), 'Captain Goodvibes Strange Tales' (1975) and 'Captain Goodvibes Porkarama' (1980), calendars, a movie 'Hot to Trot' and a maxi-single record 'Mutants of Modern Disco' in 1978. Goodvibes also starred in a radio series on Sydney radio station Double J (now Triple J) voiced by Tony Edwards.
