Slush Editor: Um, let's see. There is one thing, depending on how desperate you are.
Let's see....
It's called “Super Young Vaguely-Attractive Porcine Space Bureaucrats Oink Zeggpold and Kristy Shipp”.
Assistant: That's not going to fit on the cover, Chief.
Oink: I should explain that in those days, all comics were required to list the titles of all features on the cover.
Big anthologies like Bureaucracy Jump had fairly crowded covers.
Editor: We'll have to change the title. What's in it?
Slush Editor: Er, well, there are these Space Bureaucrats...
Yeah, pigs...
Um..., forms and stuff...
Other Pig: Hey, Suzy, do you need anything from the stores? Lisa's going out now...
Slush Editor: Oh, yeah, a couple of toasters...
Sorry, boss, ah...
Editor: Pigs and Toasters? that will just fit, thanks.
Slush Editor: Ah, boss. That was just...
Editor: Thanks, Suzy! Send the pages to production A.S.A.P.!
Slush Editor: Oh, well, probably no one will notice...
Editor: I'll do the cover, if you can get together the the text pages on the Furutanis' award.
Say, what is the award, anyway?
Assistant: It's the Hughes Award for Improving Interspecies Relations!
The censors will love that, won't they?
Oink: “So there you have it: the true story...” well, a story, anyway,... “... of how Pigs and Toasters got its name.”
See you next time, when we'll be back to Rotating Eggplant Family Comics!
But there will probably be more Hollistons™ Cream of Papaya Comics one of these days!
