Werewolf Jones & Sons Deluxe Summer Fun Annual features Werewolf Jones, who, drugged up to his eyeballs, believes he is the world's greatest father. This is the most far-from-the-truth, delusional thought ever conceived by any thinker. Parents can learn a lot about what NOT to do as a guardian by observing Werewolf Jones as he deals with bullying, his own...

Megg and Werewolf Jones are Horse Mania. Horse Mania is a test of the audience's patience, proudly the "worst band in town," without any ambition to make it. Join the musicians as they battle through shoddy, distracted practice sessions, a squalid house show, and a doomed interstate tour. Watch as they drunkenly flail through their sets amidst toothaches, nervous breakdowns,...

Megahex introduces us to Megg, a depressed, drug-addicted witch, and her black cat, Mogg. Their circle includes Owl, an anthropomorphised owl, and Werewolf Jones, with whom they often spend time.

Over the course of 2020, Crisis Zone has amassed unprecedented...

Seeds and Stems collects...
