Cover by Frank Johnson. Stories and art by Jon D'Agostino and others. Charlton presented this version of the mischievous Ollie Orwell as a promotional item for Blue Bird Comics, handed out at kids' shoe stores as a free giveaway. Ollie's dad gets roped into one PTA meeting, and the next thing he knows, he's running for president. Champy gets recruited from the city zoo to be a test-chimp for early spaceflight, in a story that's a sign of its times. Alice thinks Japanese culture borrows too much from US pop culture, an interesting contrast with modern times. Pop for President; Champy the Space Chimp; A Little Suburb of America. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
