This is another collection of stories; it looks like this Wild Penny series has three stories per issue. First up you have a couple of guys in Vietnam going AWOL and betting on cockfights (Parkhill &amp; Menez), then you have a story about romance and incredibly shrinking text (Yost), and finally a story about a giant baby (Parkhill). The Vietnam story was pretty funny, the romance story was OK (and it&#8217;s hard to fault anybody who can throw in a Tom Waits reference), and the last story about the baby was pretty much pointless, but how much is there to say about a giant baby that gets bigger than the whole world? I think there are better issues than this out there, but it&#8217;s alright. $2, contact info up there!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/wildpenny42.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"773\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Wild Penny #4 I think Tod Parkhill might do more comics in the course of a year than anybody else in the industry.
