In "Merv and Dave in 'Easy Money'," Paula Hammond crafts a quietly devastating story anchored in a single, raw moment: a young girl witnesses her mother being assaulted by her father. Stephen Lillie’s stark, expressive art—penciled, inked, and lettered by him—captures the quiet horror of the scene, while the final panel’s unsettling image of the girl stomping on her teddy bear lingers long after the page turns. The cover by Peter Ferguson complements the story’s grim tone with a stark, evocative image.

In "Lucky," a quiet, heartbreaking moment unfolds as a young girl bears witness to her mother’s abuse at the hands of her father. While bystanders dismiss her as lucky—too young to understand the pain—the final panel reveals her turning that silence into something raw and personal, her small hands pressing down on her teddy bear in a gesture both tender and devastating.
