The Ruff & Reddy Show #5
| Writer | Howard Chaykin |
| Artist | Mac Rey |
| Cover Price | $3.99 |
In the business of show, they say nothing succeeds like excess-and that imitation is the sincerest form of television. In a flurry of days that make their heads spin, Ruff and Reddy find themselves spread all too thin in a slurry of pilots-while a bad decision comes back to haunt them like a bad blind date on a Saturday night.

Whoever commissioned this needs a stern talking to. Or a wedgie, possibly. Read Full Review
