Issue #1
Published Nov 1995 by Dark Horse.$2.50
$2.50
Story and art by Terry LaBan. In this first issue, we've got stories bursting out all over: Eno & Plum (the main characters) star in the stroke-of-genius story, "You Can Bank on it." Eno discovers that he can make money as a sperm donor, and soon becomes famous for the quantity and quality of his, um, donations. Can he win a "donating" competition against a fat, pimply fanboy? "Mickey Pimple, Teen Adventurer" is an action-adventure story in which Mickey, a character who bears an odd resemblance to Tintin, narrowly escapes the dreaded girl pirates of the Malay Coast; refuses the advances of the Serpent Woman; unknowingly protects a CIA heroin-smuggling operation; rescues and is rescued by young Artemis Urethra (daughter of millionaire shipping magnate Georgio Urethra) and her bodyguard, Geraldine "Bulldagger" Jones; and pals around with Barney, his bass-ackwards dog. Eno & Plum's pal, Angie O'Plastey, is an obnoxious li'l skinhead-punk gal. When she gets fired from her coffee-shop job for having a bad attitude, she becomes fixated on revenge! She starts a gang war, then creates the cafe's newest flavor sensation -- with a little help from the city's sewer system! Plum's dad, Seymour Riverpeace, is an aging-hippie-turned-wealthy-entrepreneur who's usually busy smoking giant spleefs around his office. In "Where is the Dope of Yesteryear?" Seymour takes Eno & Plum to visit his cryogenic weed-storage vault. When dad hauls out some ancient pot he bought at Woodstock, he discovers a thorny problem: how do you get vengeance on somebody who sold you bad dope 25 years ago? How many comics give you that much story in less than 32 pages, huh? It's so much fun, it doesn't have to just be your favorite comic -- it can be your best friend! Any way you look at it, Cud Comics will leave you with something to chew on. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.

Issue #3
Published Mar 1996 by Dark Horse.$2.50
Story and art by Terry LaBan. It takes a tough hombre to do the job of tribal medicine man, but Muktuk Wolfsbreath is up to the job. Muktuk knows that healing the sick can be a risky business; sometimes a cure can only be found on the astral plane. That means he's gotta leave his body lying helpless, where any wandering spirit might hijack it and ruin Muktuk's rep with the tribe. When the ghost of a dead shaman does just that, he lets himself in for the ass-kicking of his life, courtesy of Muktuk Wolfsbreath, Hard-Boiled Shaman! And that's just one of the stories in this riotous issue of Terry LaBan's Cud Comics, a sort of Archie Comics fused with The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. In three self-contained stories, our semi-regular cast of characters wends its way through a landscape of sex, drugs, and quickie Vegas weddings! Jealousy, aphrodisiacs, dumpster-diving, and Native-American noir -- this third issue of America's chewiest comic book is chock-full o' fun! 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.

Story and art by Terry LaBan. In this month's Eno and Plum selection, "The Old Folks at Home," Eno and Pllum try to move in with Eno's parents after being evicted from their own apartment for not paying the rent. Unfortunately, they find space is at a premium, with the drug dealers upstairs and Eno's sister's family in the basement, where her husband watches sports on TV and recovers from a mysterious mental illness. And that's where it begins! Meanwhile, in "Are We Recovering Yet?" Plum's old hippy dad, Seymour Riverpeace, is forced into mandatory drug treatment by a former commune buddy who's now a federal judge, and The Author pays an instructive visit to Charles Schlutz, creator of the renowned comicstrip "Groundnuts." 32 pages, B&W.

$2.50
Story and art by Terry LaBan. Everybody's favorite groovin' couple, Eno and Plum, are back to enlighten, outrage, and entertain everyone in sight in Terry LaBan's cult favorite, Cud Comics #6! This hilarious satire on life looks like Archie, but reads like the subversive neo-underground classic it is! This issue deals with issues of the present -- and the past! In "Man Trouble," Eno and Plum are inevitably drawn in as their pal Catherine juggles the demands of three simultaneous abusive relationships while listening to the ticking of her biological clock. In "Violent High School," '50s teens wield high-powered weaponry in an anachronistic tale of romance and juvenile delinquency, and Victorian funeral attire collides with sweaty polyester in "Vinnie, the Disco Vampire." 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.
