“New Water Supply”

In "New Water Supply," the ever-resourceful Sad Sack finds himself in a surprisingly sticky situation when a mysterious leak threatens the base's water supply—only to discover that the source might be more than just a broken pipe. Written by Al Avison and illustrated with sharp, expressive detail by Al Avison, this 1992 issue from Lorne-Harvey Publications delivers a classic mix of military humor and quiet absurdity, with Ken Selig handling both color and cover art alongside Fred Rhoads. The cover, a vibrant blend of Selig and Rhoads' inks and pencils, hints at the chaos to come, while a promotional spread on page 34 teases a wave of re-issued titles, including this very issue.
