I was going to buy it, but after seeing the story up on the scans and realizing it's so short, I'm better off with already reading it here. Not that I don't want Foster's to make money but for a Frankie story, I honestly did expect a little bit more bang for my buck so to speak.

Anyways, the cover is completely backwards from the actual story but regardless, it was actually a very cute story. I didn't get why the kid was "too young" joke at first but after I re checked it, I totally got it and smiled . Talk about being a little pervert.

Looks like Mac wasn't the only kid to have googly eyes for Frankie. But by FAR the best part was seeing everyone at the door eyeing Evil Frankie. Dylan and Adam were a nice touch, Prince I expected to see, same with Chris. But Dylan?!? Now THAT was a shock, I really didn't expect to see him there.

I mean that doesn't change the fact he's an asshole but the fact they used him in this comic was a real eye popper for me. I think Vox is right when he says the comic gets the characters down right, they talk and act pretty identical to the show. I also really enjoyed Frankie and Herriman's chat.

"Your enjoying this aren't you?"

"Immensely"

Really? I always thought Phil Moy's PPG art was really great. But then, he wasn't doing a lot of work in the later issues, was he? Earlier issues in the run featured full-issue 22-page stories and more of Phil's great pencils.

But eh - you say potayto, I say potahto.

That Dylan is certainly a tenacious little blighter, isn't he?

Anyhow, a thousand thank yous upon you, K0ugs, for providing that.

Has anyone picked up issue #32 yet? Normally, I'd have purchased it by now, but I'm travelling on business.

The comic shop called me today to say my copies of #32 were in; but I have to wait until tomorrow to pick them up.

I'm definitely looking forward to my copy. It's really a pretty good story; would've made a good "short" episode.

I know I don't usually do this, but because I think this is the funniest comic so far, I've scanned it:

Lol.
