Stories and Art by Ariel Bordeaux and Rick Altergott. A double dish of cartoon delectation served up by the domesticated duo of Ariel (Deep Girl) Bordeaux and Rick (Doofus) Altergott.

Pull a chair up to the table for heapin' helpin's of Doofus (in "Blessed Be"), Henry Hotchkiss, pissed off Christian Fundamentalists, sulky eavesdroppers, and a side of happy sex enthusiasts. More than a movable feast, more like a movable food fight! 32 pages, B&W. *18+ Mature Readers Only* Cover price $3.50.
