Stories

  • Porker Fried Rice or Chung King of the Road! · 17 pages

    Peter goes out for Chinese food for Mary Jane, but gets kidnapped by Paste Pot Peep as he evades the Agents of SHEEP. Peep and Baron Zebro fly off, are chased by Capt. Americat, and meet The Mad Stinker and his Ham-Droid at his submarine. (Meanwhile, Mary Jane is dancing alone at home.) The bad guys evade Doc Clamson, and go to China, where Magsquito defeats Iron Mouse, and they join The Mandaringtail and the dragon Doo Wop Doo. Spider-Ham fights The Mandaringtail, who defeats himself via a ring's misfiring, and SHEEP rushes in to save the day. Mary Jane decides she wants pizza after all.

  • Croak & Badger · 5 pages

    The Mad Stinker, hoping to harness Badger's power, sends Ham-Droid to capture her. Ham-Droid distracts Croak by appealing to his Dark Hunger with Whiz-Um Brand Vinegar-Tabasco Chips. Croak rescues Badger, capturing The Mad Stinker in his Cloak of Darkness, and our heroes return to the nighttime streets.
