[Contents]: Strips from I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream Because Puns Suck and Floundering Fathers (September 7, 2015 to March 11, 2017); annotations by the cartoonist
[Title/cover parody]: Cover art is black and white, stylized like a scene from a film noir movie. In a narrow alley, Human Pastis leans against a building smoking a cigarette, wearing a suit, trench coat, and fedora. A blonde femme fatale seductively shows him her leg from around a corner, while brandishing a chef's knife out of his sight. Waiting with the woman are an angry-looking Rat, holding a baseball bat, and Guard Duck, holding a grenade. Pig is also with them, though he is distracted by a game of paddle ball. On the other side of they alley, behind some trash cans, are a nervous-looking Croc, holding a handgun, and Snuffles (also wearing a fedora), brandishing a morning star.
