In Under the Influence #1 (2023), a viral internet meme about hot dogs spirals into a full-fledged cult known as "The Hot Dog Party," drawing the attention of the F.B.I. When undercover agent Cara Cole infiltrates the high school attended by the meme’s creator, Paul Kozac, she finds herself immersed in a bizarre, deeply committed subculture—where the line between joke and obsession begins to blur. Written by Eliot Rahal and brought to life with bold, unified art by Stefano Simeone (who handles pencils, inks, and colors), the issue’s striking cover by Simeone sets a tone both surreal and urgent.
