Kitchen Sink February 1972
Steve Stiles gets it going on the inside front cover with a glimpse towards future society that concludes with an amusing—and appropo—twist. Joel Beck jumps in with his first long-form story for Snarf entitled “The Call of the Wild!” The story’s premise is a pure role reversal that features two bears in the forest who enjoy heading into the city and hunting humans for sport.
Trina Robbins is yet another Comix Book veteran who begins contributing to Snarf with “Rosie the Riveter.” Rosie thwarts a nefarious Nazi plot to replace American pin-up models and Hollywood stars with evil robots. George Metzger returns with another tale from the woods, this one entitled “Gypsy Ginger.” It’s about a couple living in the Sierra-Nevada mountains getting a visit from a friend named Ginger who’s a dude and a drug runner. Kim Deitch continues to expand Snarf’s roster of all-stars by contributing “Pups in Paradise,”
Justin Green provides “Matriculation,” a bizarre little story about the rat race and corporate conformity that demonstrates that free-thinkers and iconoclasts do not mix well with a square-peg society. Sharon Kahn Rudahl returns to contribute “Secret Agent,” an international thriller with a surprise ending. Snarf regular Howard Cruse finally reveals “How Barefootz Was Created.” Joel Beck closes the book with the one-page “It’s a Dog’s Life!” It’s a somber and depressing peek into the final hours of a sweet mutt and his all-too-human family.
