The nationally distributed Starhead version reprinted the 1980s story "Downtime Laff Riot" and a maze not found in the original edition.
My initials follow me around. I was born in Spokane, Washington. SW. I live in Southwest Washington. SW. Storm Warnings. SW.
I'm not particularly fond of this comic, especially the Rainmaker story. Oddly, it seems to me that out of all my comix, this one is the most acceptable to fans of conventional comic books.
Trivia:
P. 3-4: Mr. Wright also appeared in Delayed Stress Syndrome Funnies.
P. 13: Mukey and porcupines. It doesn't get much better than this, one of the few bright and happy spots in this book. Notice Mukey has a Max Fleischer character type of nose here. He was still under construction.
P. 23: Hey, isn't that ... Brad Foster in that crowd? Why, yes, I think it is!

There seems to be an unwritten law that presidential siblings are supposed to be a bit embarrassing. But in that crowded field one name really stands out in my memory.
When he wasn't accepting money from Libya, Billy Carter, brother of President Jimmy Carter, took his name to market in the form of "Billy Beer" in the 1970s.
But his real crime was allowing his name to be on the worst beer it was ever my displeasure to consume. I think they let this stuff age about 15 minutes before sending it out on the market.
