    Another gem of a funny animal comic. What a weird story. The characters are pretty fun, too.

    That was awesome. A Great mix of playful, innocent cartooning drawings, humor and some historical social commentary.

    Hi Bob...all that PLUS the drawings are fantastic!

    @Frank...I love that mix of "cute and happy" along with "paranoid and creepy". Glad you liked it!

    Wow, what awesome panel/page designs, and a cool cartoony drawing style! Do you know who the illustrator is? I can't wait to try out the safety match experiment... they'd never dream of putting fun stuff like that in a kid's funny book today.

    `the lettering sure looks a lot like Al Fago's work... but the art work is a lot better than his usual stuff, rivalng Harvey Kurtzman's vitality.

    The dude that purchases the rock left me in stitches. I felt like I was sucked into a Sid and Marty Kroft world just by looking at him.

    This stuff is so cool and is obviously so absent from today's boring comics.

    I have thought about starting up a publishing company that only carries funny animal comics and just clean comedic action stuff. Someone needs to push this stuff back out there again.

    Just kicking it around a little....thinking out loud.
