Indexer Notes

Mix of art and photographs. The first page and a half plus the final two panels are fully drawn. The rest is photos retouched by Mavrides using grayscale paint.

For the photo section Peter Weber played Phineas, Sheridan was Freewheelin' Franklin and Don Baumgart was Fat Freddy. Becky Wilson's cat was Fat Freddy's Cat.

According to Mavrides in Dave Sheridan: Life with Dealer McDope, Leather Nuns, and the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (Fantagraphics, 2018), this was the final story with all three cartoonists contributing. Dave Sheridan drew a few panels before passing shortly afterwards.
