Desperate Times (Vol. 3)

Chris Eliopoulos developed a cartoon strip about two friends and the various other beings in their lives. Love, marriage, surviving room mates… just about everything was touched on in a fun and loving manner. Toad & Kennedy, a thoughtful man and his, well, we don’t really know just what Kennedy is, but he hates mornings and has a foul mind that is only hinted at. Staci and Marty, the newlyweds just back from Disney World. Linda, the grown up sister who finds it easy to make her brother’s live a living purgatory.

Chris is so busy that this issue, the third time this strip has been collected, is probably the last for the next few years. His humor and art here are more like Doonesbury meets Friends, with a little Bloom County thrown in to give it flavor. No wonder he can only work on this particular strip every now and then.
