Quick synopsis:

With the help of Sam, Jack is able to defeat the Bagman. From there, our group (which consists of Jack, Goldy, Sam, and Mr. Dumpty) run into a few tigers. Mr. D lights them up with a cannonblast; but this, unfortunately, makes him fall apart. Sam takes it upon himself to lead the tigers away.

Goldy, meanwhile, attempts to get Jack down a well. However, he accuses her of being a spy (which she is) and won't go - even though he has a shotgun pointed at him. Needless to say, Jack throws Goldy down the well and escapes. Mr. Revise shows up, "rescues" Goldy and sends her to the Memory Hole.

Jack, meanwhile, is seen back on the road, hitchhiking.

A few questions:

Who is Sam supposed to be? He's shown super-speed, and the ability to trap the tigers using butter. And what's up with Mr. Revise? Where did he get the elastaticity?

Still, got a good laugh outta Dumpty's final lines and the sight of Paul Bunyon and Babe escaping on a motorcycle. :D

Another good issue.

Humpty-Dumpty was originally a cannon in the English civil war. I've been admiring his authentic Cavalier garb.

Is it me or do the bagman look like stuff out of HP Lovecraft's imagination?

I also find it funny that the writers admitted to ripping off of the Prisoner at the very end. :)

And/Or processed down the memory well - that was hinted at when we first met Humpty. Now that my favourite bespectacled homicidal psycho is going to take a trip down there - may be we will get to see what happens.

So who here thinks Revise is related to the bagmen?

And does anyone else want to see Revise have a face off with Frau Totenkinder?
