Flame-Broiled #9

I’ve been very nice to this series overall, mostly because I like the sheer sense of fun that comes with these books, but I do have one technical complaint that’s been bugging me: line up your copies! Seriously half the pages have their tops chopped off, which doesn’t always matter but sometimes cuts off words and mostly just looks bad. It’s #9 (which is impressive by itself), that’s a problem that should be worked out by now. I do this out of love! This issue is a stand-alone story about Pope-land, a theme park made from the Vatican. A guy in a panda suit and a man named Raplh go there for the fabulous rides and Ralph ends up on the “Confession Booth Confession” show, which makes him instantly famous, causing him to lose interest in his old friends. But in all the confusion with the new fame, Raplh forgets to confess his sins and ends up in hell! More thrills after that, of course, including the panda guy following his friend into hell, but I don’t want to give it all away. Another fun issue, especially if you enjoy poking fun at the pope. Contact info is up there, it’s probably still $1…
