PANEL #1: Gorgo is standing tall above the jungle, but is leaning unsteadily as if about to fall. There are are stars and special effect images above his head indicating that he’s losing consciousness.

Boy drinks to forget girl.
And, as always, it was the helpless breweries…

“Why do you run?” is the question I ask every time I see someone jogging
It’s the same story every Oktoberfest on Monster Island: Somebody always ends up getting smashed.
“YEEIII!” Do we really sound like that when we’re running away from falling gigantic monsters?
I’m going to hope I never need to find out!
I’m sorry, but I’ve got to say, in panel 1, that monster looks like he just had the best lay in his life! I mean, I think he’s seeing stars because there’s no blood left in his head!
