Publisher’s description

Eightball #3 contains a sort of Cartoonist's Book of Genesis: "The Young Manhood of Dan Pussey," with hilarious caricatures of Art Spiegelman and Gary Groth as two cantankerous "alternative" publishers dismayed by Pussey's singular lack of talent! This issue also includes the classic "The Stroll," an "Eightball profile" of evil "Pastor Robert Tilton," the Duplex Planet page "What Can Robots Do?" and chapter three of "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron." A perennial favorite that never goes out of style! This issue contains the following stories: Like a Velvet Glove Cast in IronThe StrollThe Young Manhood of Dan PusseyWhat Can Robots Do?
