Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome was released by Parliament in 1977. Beside being one of Parliament’s finest albums, it came with extras that would never be possible in a cassette or CD format.
Funkentelechy Vs. The Placebo Syndrome
Both the fold-out poster of Sir Nose D’Voidoffunk and the included comic were illustrated by Overton Loyd.

The Sir Nose D’Voidoffunk Poster
Loyd is best known for creating the cover art for Motor Booty Affair, which was released the following year.
Billboard Magazine recognized Loyd for “Best Use of Computer Graphics” back in ’82 for the video effects in George Clinton’s “Atomic Dog.”
Funkentelechy was one of the first three Parliament records I bought, and has always remained a favorite.
And during my last trip to Rochester I replaced my copy of the live P.Funk Earth Tour LP with a copy that still had the poster of Dr. Funkenstein inside.
In my next post I’ll feature my favorite PFunk artist – Pedro Bell.
The sir nose pictures have been hard to come good artwork p funk in Detroit all day. Can you get to that.
Can’t make it out to Detroit, but if you check my most recent post you’ll see I’ve just picked up another of the PFunk comic books, this time from a sealed Bootsy LP.
