since they took up an entire page. This book features some of the early
Peanuts Sunday features from 1958 to 1961. Who could forget those
early years? Snoopy would go through his charades- like a boxer with 1
glove on his nose! Sally was a new character here and just a baby. Linus
wasn't yet old enough for school and demanded an education. Yet, he proves
to have an impressive imagination as he sees images of the apostle Paul
in the clouds. Pig Pen comes to Violet's birthday party just as sloppy
as he always is- but at least his present is clean! |

| Charlie Brown
tries sleeping under the stars but gets scared when he hears a howling
sound (Snoopy, of course!). Of course, he gets no respect as baseball manager
and gets laughed at by all the kids. It's little wonder he gets irked when
the radio announcer asks: "What can be more delightful than the sound of
laughter from little children?" Linus and Lucy both beg their dad to bring
them little presents on the way home but Mr. Van Pelt is only taking his
car out of the garage to be washed! Lucy asks Schroeder: "If Beethoven
was so great, how come he didn't get to be king?". She also tries on one
of Charlie Brown's crooked striped T-shirts for a laugh- but this time,
the joke's on her! And most of the Peanuts gang is gathered together for
the Christmas paegant. Linus forgets his lines, but Lucy knows the right
cure! |

HEY
MISTER
CELEBRITY
ROAST
(A
savagely hilarious guerrilla war against all things bright and beautiful.) |

Evil, evil,
evil... and really funny.
Pete Sickman-Garner is probably
one of the funniest cartoonists out there. There's something refreshing
about reading a book where the characters kill and then eat Sting. HEY
MISTER shows no remorse as it makes fun of everyone, and does so in a particularly
evil manner. Highly recommended. |

| A fat, juicy
144-page feast of "America's funniest comic book." (Details Magazine).
This collection features all of Pete Sickman-Garner's regular series, HEY,
MISTER, topped off with three new stories and all of his anthology pieces
from the last two years. Follow the adventures of Pete's hilarious cast
of misfits, Young Tim, Mister, Aunt Mary, and Hideous Mutants (don't ask!),
as they continue their guerrilla war against everything sacred and beautiful.
-Best of all, there aren't any actual celebrities. Well, except for Sting,
but he gets killed and eaten rather quickly, so that's okay!
"America's
funniest comic book."
--Gavin
Edwards, Details Magazine
"Guaranteed
to send milk spurting out your nose!"
--Chris
Oarr, Small Press Expo
"...one
of the most promising satirists to emerge from the new wave of young comics
creators. … He draws you into a world that's a funhouse-mirror reflection
of our own, and lets you peer back from the other side."
--Joe
Zabel, Indy Previews
