Indexer Notes
Part 7 of 7. The full-length concluding episode. Parts 1-6 were back-up stories in American Flagg! #21-26.
The subplot involving Raul the Cat and a robot dog is an homage-parody of the George Herriman newspaper strip Krazy Kat.
Amy Little, Deiter "Daddy Fleshbucks" Reich, and Dirty the Dog are porn-themed parodies of the Annie, Daddy Warbucks, and Sandy the Dog characters from the Little Orphan Annie newspaper strip.
