Milton, only to have his plans derailed—then unexpectedly revived—by Cherry and her sun-blind boyfriend Dick, whose accidental interference leads to an unexpected turn of events. Written by Barry Siegel and Bruce Simon, with art and inks by Bruce Simon and lettering by Tom Orzechowski, this 1980 issue captures a quirky, offbeat moment in the series' history, all framed by a cover by Bruce Simon that perfectly mirrors the story’s wry tone.
In "My Little Cherry," Jo’s dad Brainard is all business as he tries to land a big deal with oil baron Milton J. Milton, but his plans go haywire when his daughter Cherry and her perpetually sun-blind boyfriend Dick crash the meeting—spilling the briefcase and accidentally winning the contract out of sheer, absurd pity.
When cartoonist Si Darling sets up a surveillance operation in Barry Siegel and Bruce Simon’s apartment to steal material for his comic strip, he doesn’t expect the prank to backfire—soon, the boys are mocking Si and his wife, and in turn, they return the favor by turning the tables with a cleverly placed bug of their own.
In this 1980 entry from Party Comics, Lou recounts the story of Babette, a woman caught in the grip of addiction, to two Cracked Magazine interviewers who find her tale too grim for their publication. The narrative unfolds with a mix of dark humor and quiet melancholy, capturing a moment of raw honesty amid the absurdity of the era.
