By Paul Hornschemeier. An abusive cowboy to a literate dinosaur to a heartbroken teenager to a has-been TV character running from cancellation...an endless stream of segues from one seemingly un-segue-able narrative to the next -- this is Forlorn Funnies. Moving from his formal experimentation-laden, sharply-designed and critically-acclaimed series, Sequential, Paul Hornschemeier begins this full-color, quarterly series without reserve: seven distinct and separate narratives flow into and out of one another seamlessly, creating the sensation of an anthology written by Siamese quintuplets! 32 pages, full color. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.95.

Marnie Winters was going to turn her life around; get out of the house, make friends, no more "Miserable Old Marnie!" Everything was going to plan, but then, of course, she died. Now, Marnie's a ghost trapped on Earth, and the only one who can help her is the overenthusiastic, alien social worker, Xel, whose job is to help ghosts "close their file" and pass on. Xel has a much better idea to soothe Marnie's troubled spirit: an internship in the hopeless bureaucracy of the trans-dimensional Department of Spectral Affairs!

This new do-gooder duo has their work cut out for them in a series of hilarious mishaps and misadventures throughout the space-time continuum (but mostly in and around the office).
