Summary:
Some vampire zombies chase Dot around the studio.
Description:
Yakko & Wakko go to do some night work
Plotz gave them, while Dot, after a bad dream, heads to the Commissary. But en
route, she meets up with some brain-eating vampire zombies, who chase her. The
commissary, upon her arrival, is overrun by vampire zombies. After defeating
them, she finds that her brothers, and several other A! cast members, are also
now vampires. She gives in and decides to join them, but finds they're actually
all just playing extras on the Buffly TV show.
Pages (out of 32): 8 pp.
Quote of the Story:
DOT: Now I remember! A steak through the heart kills
vampires! It must be the cholesterol that kills them.
Review:
A nice little tale—good action, good fun, good
artwork. The "vampire zombies" are technically a lot more zombie than
vampire, which rather ruins the whole Buffy angle…but it's still quite
enjoyable. Check out the vampire Hello Nurse—zowie!

AYPWIP:
BRAIN: Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Pinky?
PINKY: Oh yes, Brain! Remind me to tape all our phone calls!
[And only a page later, before they begin cutting the
President's hair.]
BRAIN: Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Pinky?
PINKY: Um, I think so, Brain, but I hear Hillary is the
jealous type.
Quote of the Story:
BRAIN: Good afternoon, Mr. President. I am Lobel Ebrain.
PRESIDENT: Ebrain? That sounds kind of like
YEEEE-HAAAA!
PINKY: Really? I thought it was supposed to sound European
and pretentious.
Review:
Matheny's last, and least funny, P&tB story.
Aside from a rather dumb outset, his writing is at its worst, with lots of
inane, unfunny dialogue. Even Carzon's art isn't all that terrific this time
out. The only redeeming quality is the length—only 8 pages (although those 8
pages are hardly bearable). Be ye warned.

Title: "Very Good Things"
Writer: Mark McKain
Penciller: Griffo
Inker: Andrew Pepoy
Letterer: P. Felix
Colorist: Bob LeRose
Summary:
The Warners bug "Moutha
Stewdit."
Description:
Moutha Stewdit (figure it out) horribly
mistreats her subordinates. So, the Warners arrive. Thinking she's baking a
cake for Wakko's birthday (which isn't today, but they don't want to tell her
after she's gone to all this trouble), they force her to get the
highest-quality ingredients, trekking the globe in the process, and treating
her like she treated her inferiors. She finally ends up blowing up.
Pages (out of 32): 8 pp.
Quote of the Story:
MOUTHA: Dyeing door knobs is an easy and elegant way to
decorate for Spring! [To her lackeys; referring to the door knob which she's
just dyed blue]: Can't you idiots get anything right? I said Robin's Egg Blue,
not Bluebird Blue!
Review:
Dunno if Ms. Stewart is really that much of a jerk
(admittedly, I know very little about her), but this story didn't strike me as
terribly funny. A few amusing barbs at her picky, perfectionist nature and some
decent artwork by Griffo grace this otherwise run-of-the-mill story.
Rating: ½
