I'd like to state, for the record, that I really despise mushrooms. I'm not allergic (at least I don't think so), but every time I've tried one (or accidently eaten one) in the last several years, I've felt the need to vomit. Once it actually went that far.

I did see something interesting on Brink recently about mushrooms saving the world. Sounds good to me, as long as they don't have to go in my mouth to do it.

I showed this to Quinton early. His response was to tell me about a joke he used to tell many years ago when he very young. "The nuke would turn the country into a pizza--with extra mushroom clouds."

This is part one, and the final installment, of my three part "sketches that turned into comics" series.
