Boffo Laffs 1986 #2 - 7.0 - $19.00

Poppinfresh, the Pillsbury Doughboy, is supposed to be a new crewman on the Enterprise. However, a glitz in the transporter fries him and he ends up as bread.

Comic collector Rex Luthor is frustrated when real superheroes appear, and they are incompetent (Ultraguy) or only concerned with self-promotion for wealth (Joe Power). So he sells his comic collection for enough money to equip a super-criminal laboratory with which he lures the pair into a death trap.

Shiso, a giant (but not too bright) robot, decides he wants to be a crimefighter.

Ultraguy and Joe Power try to escape from their death trap, but fail.

Charlie and Ward, the cartoon alter-egos of Charlie Williams and Ward Batty, escape from the ink bottle into the real world, where they gain revenge on their creators by forcing them into the comic book world.

Ultraguy & Joe Power call for help from their United Federation of Comicbook Workers representative, Norman Melchert, and decide to go on strike.

Captain Teddy's nemesis, the Purple Brain, comes to Earth and disguises himself as "Purple Bran" cereal to enslave the population.

Norman gets permission to wrap up the story in this issue.

Rex Luthor is going to dip Ultraguy and Joe Power in a vat of acid; but Joe Power neutralizes the acid with a couple of Tums antacid tablets.
