In "Porker Fried Rice or Chung King of the Road!", Peter Porker races to grab Chinese takeout for Mary Jane—only to be snatched by Paste Pot Peep during a chaotic escape from the Agents of SHEEP. Chased across the globe by Captain Americat and dodging Doc Clamson, Peep and Baron Zebro flee to China, where they join forces with the Mandaringtail and the dragon Doo Wop Doo after Magsquito bests Iron Mouse. Meanwhile, Mary Jane dances alone at home, unaware of the wild adventure unfolding. Spider-Ham faces off against the Mandaringtail, whose own ring backfires spectacularly, and SHEEP arrives just in time—leaving Mary Jane to reconsider her dinner plans.

Croak & Badger
5 pp · Humor, Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals, Superhero

In this delightfully absurd 1987 tale from *Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham* #16, the Mad Stinker’s latest scheme targets Badger’s mysterious power, sending the Ham-Droid on a mission to capture her. While Croak is tempted by the sizzling allure of Whiz-Um Brand Vinegar-Tabasco Chips, he ultimately rallies to rescue Badger, outsmarting the villain and reclaiming the night—backed by the cloak of darkness and a whole lot of comic chaos.
