Apocalypse? NOW???: Four Illustrated Doomsday Scenarios

The apocalypse has arrived. Unfortunately, it brought company.What happens when civilization collapses, the sun explodes, middle age attacks, or the incoming President of the United States discovers that the outgoing administration has left behind something considerably worse than a budget deficit?You laugh.Or at least Bill Schmalfeldt hopes you do.APOCALYPSE? NOW - Four Illustrated Doomsday Scenarios adapts four stories from Schmalfeldt's satirical collection Tiptoe Through the Zeitgeist into a full-length illustrated comic anthology.In "Good Luck, Mr. President!", President-elect Michael Donnelly arrives at the White House expecting a routine final briefing. What he receives instead is a catalog of increasingly impossible catastrophes.In "Elegy for an Aging Goth Girl," a woman who once regarded sunlight as an insult discovers that time has transformed her into something far more terrifying than anything she encountered in tragic Russian literature: a reasonably well-adjusted adult who understands the practical value of mulch.In "The Last Two Survivors," Elmer and Jasper Whitmore have spent years warning everyone about lizard people, chemtrails, Atlantis, murderous animals, space aliens, and Armageddon. Nobody listened. Then, inconveniently, they turn out to be right.And in "The Last Morning TV Show," Jack Hanley and Kelly Morgan host humanity's final morning broadcast with the cheerful professionalism of people who understand that even the extinction of all life should not interfere with the cooking segment.Dark, absurd, irreverent, and unexpectedly human, APOCALYPSE? NOW finds comedy in the one subject guaranteed eventually to affect everyone: The end.
