HAPPY FREAK SHOW # 6
Half legal size/ 20 pages/ $ 2.00 / from Jeff Plotkin 1700 Gough St. #305 San Francisco, CA 94109

The cover says for mature readers, but I think that only means that young children just won't understand the humor. This issue comes out just in time to make a great Christmas gift. It includes one of the funniest versions of "The Night Before Christmas" that I have ever seen. If you are at all a fan of Will Elder you will get a kick out of all the little signs and things in the backgroud of each of the story panels.
To ad a little literary class to his small press comic, Jeff includes "A Page Torn Out of Hamlet" Something that I suppose Shakespear disgarded thinking it didn't work well in the story. WRONG!
Jeff proves it should have been left in!
Once again Jeff hits the mark with a very funny issue, be sure to send for a copy of this one before they are sold out!

DOPE FIENDS OF THE ZOMBIE CAFE!
Wow it has been quite a while since my last post. I have and continue to have problems on the internet. Pages either load extremely slow or don't load at all! My computer may have a virus but I am not sure, because sometimes it is just fine. Anyway on to comics!
This comic is digest size/ 30 pages/color covers/ $3.00 from; "Hula Cat"Comics PO Box 279 Manchester, MI 48158-0279
www.hulacatcomics.com
info@hulacatcomics.com
The cover of this comic is a collectors item in itself. You should buy this for the cover alone. The story by Sean Frost is a send up of the those old cult movies, "Reefer Madness" and "Night of the Living Dead" Sean combines them with a little "Village of The Giants" thrown in for good measure.
Drawn by "Plastic Farm " creator Rafer Roberts, who seems to get better with each project he tackles. I am not sure they quite pull off the campyness that is required to make this work, but it does have all the elements it needs. A crazy laboratory professor, a grade school field trip to an eerie Agricultural Facility, and Beatniks at a local coffee house.
Oh and of course ZOMBIES!!!!
This comic is lots of fun, and as I said the cover alone is worth the price.
