Pablo Marcos inks Perlin's last page and all of the Sutton pages. Artist information 2005 by Steven Tice.
Without his bike and looking for a ride, Johnny is offered a lift by a hippie in a psychedelic dune buggy with the name "The Grass Hut" written on the side. The driver offers our hero what looks like a joint while he tells him, "Take a drag on this. It'll help settle yer nerves for ya!" Johnny refuses and looks for another ride.
