David writes another DEAR DIARY. A plane is on the front inside cover.Captain Fuego
of the high sky seas has them, taking them to the hole in the sky where they will
toil as her slaves for the rest of their lives. Griswald says, "Then we truly
are doomed." Fuego says, "You're a happy go lucky fellow, aren't you?"
Fuego wants Badger, the big mouth, killed. He says,"You can try! But it won't
be that easy!" He kicks one pirate in the face.David is worried, "Badger?"
Badger says, "Watch for me, David. I will be back for you!" As the pirates
attack, Badger jumps overboard, "What a bunch of dorks!!"
Someone asks Carl what he is doing...and Mark answers, "Goin swimming...wanna
come?" Carl is reading AKIKO and wants to veg out. Mark goes down steps, "Stuck
up twit." Carl calls, "I heard that!!" Mark goes down and thinks nothing
bad can happen on such a beautiful day...as shadow yjaws seem to sneak up on him
from the rocks. Gulls fly in the ackground.
CONFUSION NOTE TWO: Someone asks Carl what he is doing, okay and we see this from
outside so we don't know from whence it came. Inside, the blond boy is reading a
comic book AKIKO and the Oriental boy answers, "Goin' swimming...wanna come?"
Thus, is the Oriental boy Mark or Carl; is the blond boy Mark or Carl? Later in this
issue as the blond boy in his skimpy bathin gsuit goes out to join the Oriental boy,
he says, "It's a dirty trick, Carl!!" Are they both Carl?
Meanwhile: a boy in a thong waves a giant leaf over theQueen. This boy has a flower
in his lite hair. He is wearing nothing but the flower and thong. The Queen is on
a blanket on a ship. Dewie is having weights put into his belt and he wears a collar
of metal which extends over his upper chest but his nipples are bare as is his belly
and a neck collar extends up. He has on a visible glass helmet with an air pipe on
it. Dewie protests but a very small Oriental boy helping with the tube says, "This
is fun!" He has on wrist-arm bands, a necklace, and a thong loin cloth. The
Oriental boy is pumping fresh air to Dewie, whom Vic pushes over.The Queen thought
Vickie Wickie was just a half wit but he says, "Oh hell no. I'm a whole wit!"
The fan boy sighs.

And a funny back cover : |
Dragon Island: Two cat beings, talk cattalk (Merror Aroow, roouh krooh, kirrow preeoo,
herroo, merruh, meew). One has spots and carries a spear, the other has stripes.
They find the bit offhead of the Queen's wizard Grimaldie. He asks, "Wha?"
It screams and sends the cat people running off screaming.
Mark comes out with shirt in hand and in his bathing suit with some kind of round
tie holding it on his right hip.He tells Carl it was a dirty trick using psychology
to plant the thought in his head, knowing he would come out sooner or later to swim.
Carl surfaces and spits out water, "What kept you?" Mark waves.
Vic fraps a fart near the fan boy. The small Oriental boy serves clams. Queen tells
Vic he has reached his limit about the clams. The pilot, a near faceless, almost
featureless mutant being with droopy eyes and mouth tells Vic, "Oh gaseous one,
but shouldn't someone be manning the pump?" Vic is upset, "Jumpin catfish!!
Poor Dewie ain't gettin no air!!!" Queen sighs, "Another page lost to fate.
Whata shame...and he suffered so prettily too!" Vic feels bad and yells that
the poor little guy packed it in because Vic was too wrapped up in his clams. The
Oriental boy, turns as Dewie surfaces gasping, "Help me," over and over.
The Oriental boy says, "Dewie!" They don't take the helmet off right away...if
they do at all. Dewie gasps, shuts his eyes, "Can't go on...oooooo!" The
Oriental boy shows them something he had in his hand...a lighter.
Fuego calls her captives, Gen and David, to the side to see her home...Barringarria,
a hole in the sky. David says, "I wish I didn't have to pee so bad." Gen
calls Fuego a witch and tells her she meant it. Fuego thinks Gen didn't mean it but
Gen tells her she did. Fuego tells David, "You look troubled, boy. What is it?
Something to do with this tight rubber suit?" She unzips the front and pulls
it down. David sweats, "Uh, I uh have to go...bad!" She puts her hand down
and pulls up his material,"Poor thing...does this help at all?" He geeps,
"Not really!" He crosses his eyes. The ship enters the cliffs that go far
up. David says, "Aahhhhhhh," his eyes closing dreamily and in relief. Fuego
says, "Yes, the boy understands." One of the rat things tells her it is
almost time to dock. She says, "Make it so!" Kaka Blackleach, a man with
pointed nose and big roundears and large top hat and suit with tails, arrives with
Tinee, a short curly haired Oriental monkey like boy like woman midget who picks
her nose. She tells them they can have the boy and the girl but the wizard is her's |
