Written by Fowlton Means and illustrated, inked, and lettered by Kim Deitch, the story takes a sudden turn when Miles and his companion Blanche are ambushed on the road by Don Corchese, who holds him at knifepoint. As Don’s grip on reality slips into senility, he leaves behind a cryptic clue hinting at a hidden fortune—leaving Miles, and readers, with more questions than answers. The cover by M. K. Brown captures the story’s eerie tone with a striking, unsettling image.
In "Possessed," Miles Microft, freshly released from the sanitarium with strict orders to avoid stress, finds his calm shattered when Blanche and he are ambushed on the road by Don Corchese, who holds Miles at knifepoint. As Don’s grip on reality slips into senility, he leaves behind a cryptic clue that could lead to a hidden fortune—just as Miles’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel.
In "Back Home In Pasadena," young Robert navigates the quiet chaos of a California summer—tuned into the TV, fumbling through accordion lessons, and enduring the peculiar indignity of a bee in his ear—before facing the unexpected arrival of distant relatives from Albuquerque, all while seeking refuge at In-N-Out Burger.
In "The Toad and the Madman," Mr. Toad, mid-doodle and feeling increasingly unhinged, decides a walk might clear his head—only to interrupt Alfred Jarry, who greets him with a self-made comic titled *The Unspeakable Truth*, featuring Mr. Toad in a surreal, absurd adventure.
