Fuzz and Pluck in Splitsville (2001) comic books
-
Issue #1
Published Jun 2001 by Fantagraphics.$3.20
Story and Art by Ted Stearn. After a long absence, Ted Stearn's cult-favorite "Fuzz and Pluck" return in this hilariously bizarre new 4-issue mini-series. Fired from his admittedly degrading job as a waiter at Lardy's (where we left him at the end of the original F&P graphic novel), Pluck is taken in by Glibbia Honey, the manager for a ragtag team of gladiators that performs in the "Floating Arena," which is, as its name suggests, on a big boat. After witnessing the first battle (which involves a badger, a block of cheese, a mallet, and eight rats), Pluck vows that he himself will become the champion of this preposterous sport. Meanwhile, Fuzz, ambushed by a grouchy dog at his place of delivery and as yet unaware of the new developments in Pluck's life, is knocked unconscious and taken into care by a little girl! 48 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $4.95.

Story and Art by Ted Stearn. The first issue of this mini-series about a plucked chicken who doesn't take any guff and fearful little bear was a surprise hit last year. The second issue promises even more! After escaping a little girl's bedroom full of clueless stuffed animals, Fuzz meets a dotty old man attempting to run a ferry service and determined to beat out the competition -- a bridge. Meanwhile, Pluck surprises his fellow status-hungry teammates as he emerges as a champion in the gladiator games. 48 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $4.95.
