"Kids of Today (tsk, tsk)" is a standout story from Rip Off Comix #2 (1977), written and illustrated by Gilbert Shelton, whose sharp, satirical eye shines in this tale of chaos unleashed when a hospital mishap spreads Poltroonian Swine Fever across Muthalode city—turning its citizens into insatiable, perpetually hungry figures. The issue’s iconic cover, a collaborative effort by Shelton and a roster of underground comics legends including Ted Richards, Frank Stack, Dave Sheridan, Bill Griffith, Justin Green, and R. Diggs, captures the absurdity of the moment with a lineup of wildly expressive, fever-dream visuals.

When a hospital mishap unleashes Poltroonian Swine Fever across Muthalode City, the citizens suddenly find themselves trapped in an endless cycle of hunger—no meal ever satisfies, and the craving only grows. In the midst of the chaos, Jo, a reluctant hero with a taste for irony, must navigate a city where even the sidewalks seem to whisper about snacks.
