In "Free Comic Book Day of Reckoning!", a taxidermied squirrel named Mr. Chippy awakens with a startling absence—no back legs—and finds himself unexpectedly mobile after Lenore attaches doll limbs. Written and illustrated by Roman Dirge, this surreal tale kicks off with a bizarre twist on the familiar, all while the cover by Evan Dorkin captures the story’s offbeat tone.
