Description
Front CoverSolicitation
Jon's excess gas has really gotten out of control of late. He thinks it's no big deal...but his poor girlfriend is at her wit's end with him, and even his family has begun to be concerned about his frequent flatulence. 'Fact is, he's about one toxic toot away from an intervention about his intestinal contravention. Can Jon turn it around before it's too late, or will his botty-blasts land him permanently in the doghouse?
PREVIEW PIC: "Phew! I can smell that one through the computer screen! What have you been eating?" From the Johnny Quest parody cartoon "Toby Danger: Doomsday Bet" ( Freakazoid!!)
Sure, folks think it's easy, but it takes a surprising amount of research to write a whole story about poots. Why, I've heard Bill Faulkner could write a fart gag that'd really make you think.

Summary:
Cold Open--
The issue opens with Jon and JUL member Blue Berry inside Demi-Jon's hideout, and in a real fix: hanging suspended over a vat of boiling chemicals. The teen of terror proceeds to reveal to the heroes his latest evil plan: to switch about the letters on rearrangeable outdoor signs all over town, spelling obscene things and plunging the city into confusion, despair and chaos.
...Er, would you believe mild annoyance?
Main Story
Jon and Angela are watching TV together at his house, when suddenly she reacts sharply and scolds him. It seems he's been sitting there passing gas all night, and the smell is really starting to get to her. He can't resist teasing her, however, with one more particularly foul wind-breakage, which causes her to get fed up and storm out in disgust. She tries appealing to his mother about his disgusting tendencies, even insisting she take him to see a doctor about his problem. Jon doesn't see what the big deal is, and it doesn't curb his behavior any.
Before long Jon is simply letting rip with reckless abandon, even in public. He finds his explosive outbursts utterly hilarious, and his friends initially agree. However, soon his worsening gas becomes a valid concern. His frequent, fragrant butt-blasts begin spoiling everything: classes, car rides, sporting events, leisure time, family meals, even managing to offend and drive off all his friends.
After he farts out loud on a date, ending it before it even starts, he starts to wonder if Angela's idea about seeking help, like his butthole, is something worth looking into.....
Notes:
- Jon's plan to escape the death trap is lifted directly from " The Penny Plunderers", an early Batman story from World's Finest Comics #30 (Sep-Oct 1947).
- The main story's plot shares some similarities with the Cleveland Show episode " Gone With the Wind", which also dealt with the consequences faced by a character suffering excessive flatulence.
- page 7. "Inuit Taxes" plays on the name of the company behind popular tax-prep software TurboTax, as well as the proper name for the indigenous people of the Arctic regions of North America and Europe.
- Jon's mom gets the popular drama 13 Reasons Why confused with 10 Things I Hate About You, though it isn't clear if she means the 1999 film or the TV sitcom (likely the first one, as despite the latter's critical praise, the show suffered low ratings and was cancelled after less than a year).
- Lynyrd Skynyrd 's " Ooh, That Smell" plays over Jon's gas-passing montage starting on page 9. The group and song has been referenced and parodied in an earlier story as "Maynard Brainyrd" and "Whew, That Stinks!"
- Larry's conceit that an actor must say a total of five lines in an episode in order to be paid was taken from a Jenny episode in which Jenny McCarthy's character is repeatedly frustrated by her inability to receive any royalties from films her father--a late B-movie actor played by George Hamilton--appeared in, because his characters always seemed to get bumped off before meeting the bare minimum of lines required to collect SAG royalties.
- page 14. Before their date, Jon buys a six-pack of Zero for Angela but admits to eating one of the bars himself.
- Jon likens Angela wearing a WWII-style gas mask to "Babar's baby sister". In actuality the fictional hero of Jean de Brunhoff's books has no surviving known siblings, only a cousin/wife, Celeste.
- Angela name-drops Henri Tomasi's "Concerto for the Trumpet" in calling out Jon for his excessive pooting. She also alludes to other well-known composers Georges Enescu, Paul Hindemith, and Giacomo Puccini-- leading Jon to wonder if she spent hours looking all this up on Wikipedia just to irritate him.
- page 16. One of the tunes Jon promises his fans he will toot to is Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2", a piece made (in)famous by such cartoon worthies as Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, and Woody Woodpecker.
Title: "The Incredible Shirking Man"
Story (out of 24 pages): 6 p.
Writer: Jack Staten Monahew
Penciller: A. W. Annatone
Letterer: J. Antwon Shea
Colorist: Theo A. "Jet" Swan
Summary:
Mayor W.W. Storkwaite has an important paper that has been sitting on his desk. His assistant Deborah "Dee" Voyt is constantly pestering him to sign the document already, but he's been delaying doing it for days on end.
Storkwaite does everything in his power to avoid his responsibilities: playing around, dawdling, wasting time, even sneaking out to hide in the city, but the capable Ms. Voyt always finds him. Will His Honor grow up and act like an adult, or continue to shirk his taxpayer-elected duties?
Notes:
- The title is a reference to the film The Incredible Shrinking Man.
- A rearranged outdoor sign is seen in one panel, indicating the two stories in this issue (prod. cod. LABF09) happen concurrently.
- The scene where Mayor Storkwaite keeps running into his assistant no matter where he goes is an homage to Tex Avery's " Dumb-Hounded" and " Northwest Hounded Police". Coincidentally, Dee Voyt looks like a female version of A. Null (possibly a sister or another relation), who creator J.M. Sweet says is voiced very similarly to Droopy.
