Story: "The Return of Hello Nurse"

Backstory: She's back! And she's in fiberglass! The most notable thing about this issue (aside from the copious breast jokes) is that the American Red Cross Association actually sent DC Comics the ever-popular 'cease-and-desist' letter for use of the red cross without their consent. We're so edgy, we don't care whose feet we step on! Look upon our rebellious comic book and tremble!

Story: "ElectraWalter and DynaSquirrel", "The WarnerBugs", "Wheel of Morality"

Backstory: Remember that two-panel throwaway gag I mentioned back in Issue #25? That's what we writers like to call 'foreshadowing'. I had just seen Nick-At-Night's Puff-A-Palooza/Sid & Marty Krofft marathon and had nothing but bad costuming and even worse special effects on the brain. Not only were we able to parody "ElectraWoman and DynaGirl" in this ish (the aforementioned two-panel gag), but also "The Bugaloos", where inexplicably British insect-musicians are menaced by Martha Raye, Denture-Wearer. X-Files wishes it was this weird.

Story: "Pyjamarama", "Booth Bait"

Backstory: Our first Minerva Mink story appears in this issue. In the cartoons and the previous comic stories, Minerva does little more than serve as erection-take fodder for a mealy-mouthed wiener dog, among other unsavory males. We decided to give her more of a "That Girl" angle in this story, having to cope with a difficult job situation while trying to mack on a big furry hunk-a-muffin at the same time. My only regret: we never got to write the "Minerva auditions for a depilatory cream commercial" story.

Story: "Road Scholars"

Backstory: For this story, we did extensive research to include actual U.S. roadside attractions in it. During our research, we discovered a little gem of a restaurant in the midwest called "The Prairie Schooner". The diner in question is built to look like a giant covered wagon being pulled by a giant concrete bull called "Li'l Faithful". Why is he called "Li'l Faithful"? Because those inventive diner proprietors rigged it so that with a flick of a switch he could pee like...well...a giant bull. God Bless America!

Story: "Tour De Freak"

Backstory: It ain't no secret that Sean and I are big fans of the "Freakazoid!" cartoon. In fact, it was because of Freakazoid that we decided to write scripts together. Needless to say, we were thrilled when our editor broke down beneath our incessant whining and agreed to a Freakazoid cameo in Animaniacs. We even got a pat on the head from WB Animation Exec. Producer Tom Ruegger with this issue. Made us feel all warm 'n squoogy inside. In a good way.
