NOV073272E Chumble Spuzz Volume 1: Kill the Devil tpb, 120pg, b&w $10.95
by Ethan Nicolle
'When two idiots named Gunther and Klem enter a pig race at the local carnival, neither realize that the pig they've won is possessed by the Dark Lord, Satan. After a consult with Reverend Mofo, a foul-mouthed southern baptist preacher monkey, they conclude the only way to repair the possessed swine is to go straight to the source. Calling upon the help of the trigger happy General Woodchuck [who is indeed a woodchuck] and his sidekick Kernel Cornnut, the gang heads into hell. Their goal? To kill the Devil!' And that's only the first of two stories. Visit http://www.slgcomic.com/cspuzz.php to see a YouTube interview and download the first chapter. The protagonists aren't exactly furry--they aren't exactly anything--but a number of the deuteragonists are, so this qualifies for the furry list. I'm getting this one.
