Written and illustrated by Bud Sagendorf, the story follows his increasingly absurd reign as he declares ice cream the sole food of the realm, leading to a nation-wide financial crisis. The cover by Bud Sagendorf captures the zany tone, as the country’s leaders scramble to find a way to end the sweet tyranny.
