My contribution this issue is the art for a 6 page parody (of sorts) of the Svengoolie show written by Ian Boothby, complete with classic horror movies and unwelcome TV rerun cameos. I posted a sneak peek at that last week, along with a bit of an explanation as to why this kind of feature is different from a regular parody but not a new thing.

So…. What are you waiting for??? Go out and buy a copy, you schmuck!
