Stories

Uncouth Sweet Tooth or B.O. Go Home! · 17 pages
Orson Whales witnesses the arrival of an extra-terrestrial, but nobody listens to his warnings. The alien appears at the Daily Beagle office, where Peter, Jonah and the interns name him B.O., then discover that he eats everything in sight. Candy makers Rhesus and Crawdad hire Woodchuck Morris to capture B.O., and everyone arrives at the candy factory, from which B.O. is jettisoned back into space.
The Asinine Torch vs. the Sub-Marsupial · 5 pages
Remembering the good old days, the Torch meets The Weaselly Whizzard, who persuades the Torch to become a wrestler. Going against the Sub-Marsupial, they're too busy reminiscing to fight, but they beat up everyone else.

Publisher’s description
