In "Pig Out!", the ever-hungry Fat Cat’s dramatic river plunge accidentally drains the entire river, drawing the attention of a lonely, kind-hearted intern named Bunsen. When Fat Cat turns hostile, Spider-Ham springs into action—only to find himself dodging not one, but two more of his feline foes. With the Pig-Signal calling him to prison duty, Spider-Ham must stop a breakout by Ducktor Doom and Dragon-Lassy, all while the Fat Cats face a surprising choice: go straight or stay on the menu. Written by Mike Carlin and brought to life by Joe Albelo’s dynamic art—inked by Pierre Fournier, colored by Julianna Ferriter, and lettered by Janice Chiang—this 1987 adventure blends slapstick chaos with heart, all wrapped in Albelo’s vibrant cover.

In "Pig Out!", Fat Cat’s dramatic river plunge accidentally drains the whole stream, drawing the curious attention of Bunsen, a well-meaning intern who just wants a friend. When Fat Cat turns hostile, Spider-Ham steps in to protect Bunsen—only to find himself dodging not one, but two more Fat Cats, leading to a wild chase that ends at a restaurant, where the Pig-Signal pulls Spider-Ham into a prison break.
