COCOPIAZO #5

By Daniel Warner.

Love. It had to happen. John Victory has found his soul mate and the most meaningful relationship of his life. Will his selfish, navel-gazing tendencies cause him to screw it all up, or will he learn the value of something real? Either way he'll get to experience a love that isn't overly sentimentalized, overly intellectualized, picked apart, or grossly distorted. Love, like life itself, is easy to destroy, impossible to rebuild and reveals 'objective' study of it's nature to be a charade. Watch as we put this delicate gift into the bruised and swollen ham-fists of our protagonist.

Also In this Issue: Dan Warner delivers on the promises he made regarding pimpin', running the streets etc. These subjects had been intended for issue 4 but were bumped due an inordinately long tangent on the subject of vaginas.

24 pages, black and white, $2.95.
