Laffin' Gas

From 1986 to 1987, Blackthorne Publishing released Laffin' Gas, an 11-issue comic series that delivered a steady stream of slapstick humor and offbeat gags. The series is most closely associated with the talents of William Van Horn—who contributed as both writer and artist—alongside writers Monica Sharp and R. L. Crabb, with Dave Garcia also a key artist. A lighthearted, gag-driven anthology, it stands as a modest but fondly remembered example of the mid-80s indie comics boom, offering pure, unpretentious fun.
