" Electric Comic Book" is an album by the rock band Blues Magoos, the follow-up to their successful 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 it's B-Side, "Pipe Dream" charting higher.
