The Tortoise and the Hare

    (Last Gasp, 1971)
™ and © 1971 Garry Hallgren and respective creators

Everyone’s familiar with the classic tale of the tortoise and the hare in which the tortoise outwits the hare proving the tortoise is the fastest racer around. Now they’re back for a rematch in a highly irreverent tale, which pokes fun at everything from Disney to Looney Tunes. Can the tortoise beat the rabbit once again, or will grass and Nepalese hash balls be the end of him? This one’s definitely not for purists.

Also appearing is a version of Roger Rabbit far removed from the one which graced the silver screen. And the Three Little Pigs show up once more to face The Wolf who is fresh out of jail and ready for sweet revenge.

Sharp humor and biting satire abound in a comic that takes a twisted look at classic childhood characters. The cover of issue one speaks for itself.
