Quote of the Story:
YAKKO: This may be a silly question, but just why does he
want to eat us?
DOT: Fad diet?
WAKKO: 'Cause we taste sorta like chicken?
YAKKO: How would you kn--never mind.
Review:
Carolan & Moore at their most bizarre. How could
any story with "sentient dairy creamer packets" be anything less than
hilarious?

Summary:
Walter tries to use a monkey's paw to eliminate
Slappy.
Description:
Dot, "the Strudle Siren," introduces
this horrific tale. The prize in Skippy's "Zombie Puffs" cereal is a
monkey's paw, on which one can wish, but it brings grave misfortune to the
owner. They throw it out, but Walter comes across it, and tries various wishes
to kill Slappy, eventually ending with him being sent to a desert isle, stuck
there with the not-too-happy original owner of the paw…
Pages (out of 32): 6 pp.
Quote of the Story:
[After Walter is sucked into a huge crevice, which then
closes up.]
SKIPPY: Golly, Aunt Slappy, where did Walter go?
SLAPPY: I'd like to think of it as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride--but
with lots more pain involved.
Review:
Another wonderfully funny, delightfully odd comic.
Bassoukos' mood coloring makes Batic's excellent art all the spookier. The
"bunion" bit is a highlight.

Review:
One of the most disgusting comics I have ever read
(and that isn't even a compliment!). Still, despite the gross factor, some of
Carolan & Moore's typical humor makes this story a lot more readable than
it would be. Check out the inventive sound effects the characters give as they
hurl, as well as what's in the throw-up of each. Not for those with weaker
stomachs.
Rating: ½

Summary:
A spooky doll terrorizes Mindy & Buttons.
Description:
Wakko, "the Waffle Warlock,"
introduces the conclusion to our trilogy of comics. Lady gives Mindy a new doll
and orders Buttons not to use the power tools, and then leaves. Mindy tickles
the doll, which angers it, and it decides to get revenge. Buttons ends up
chopping the thing up with a chainsaw, which leads to the Lady putting him in a
straightjacket upon her return…
Pages (out of 32): 6 pp.
Quote of the Story:
LADY: Bad dog! Bad psychotic dog!
Review:
Mindy & Buttons haters and lovers alike will enjoy
this story. It spoofs the typical M&B formula ("no power
tools"…hee hee…) and has lots of great lines and sight gags. Lots of
funny, silly stuff.

A good ending for the ax murderer running gag, as
well as a nice way to round out this great issue. The whole thing is highly
recommended.
