Story and art by Terry LaBan. In this month's Eno and Plum selection, "The Old Folks at Home," Eno and Pllum try to move in with Eno's parents after being evicted from their own apartment for not paying the rent. Unfortunately, they find space is at a premium, with the drug dealers upstairs and Eno's sister's family in the basement, where her husband watches sports on TV and recovers from a mysterious mental illness. And that's where it begins! Meanwhile, in "Are We Recovering Yet?" Plum's old hippy dad, Seymour Riverpeace, is forced into mandatory drug treatment by a former commune buddy who's now a federal judge, and The Author pays an instructive visit to Charles Schlutz, creator of the renowned comicstrip "Groundnuts." 32 pages, B&W.

Issue #6
Published Dec 1996 by Dark Horse.$2.65
Story and art by Terry LaBan. Everybody's favorite groovin' couple, Eno and Plum, are back to enlighten, outrage, and entertain everyone in sight in Terry LaBan's cult favorite, Cud Comics #6! This hilarious satire on life looks like Archie, but reads like the subversive neo-underground classic it is! This issue deals with issues of the present -- and the past! In "Man Trouble," Eno and Plum are inevitably drawn in as their pal Catherine juggles the demands of three simultaneous abusive relationships while listening to the ticking of her biological clock. In "Violent High School," '50s teens wield high-powered weaponry in an anachronistic tale of romance and juvenile delinquency, and Victorian funeral attire collides with sweaty polyester in "Vinnie, the Disco Vampire." 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.

The badly complected Mickey Pimple, Teen Adventurer, acquires a new mentor, much to the consternation of his old one, CIA agent Hanson. The battle ensues in "Mickey Makes a Friend"! Finally, "Why I Suck" features the author telling you things about himself you probably don't want to know. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.
