Penny Century: The Love & Rockets Library – Locas Book 4: Picking up right after Perla La Loca, this compilation of stories from Jaime Hernandez’s solo comic Penny Century and his subsequent return to Love and Rockets (Vol. II) charts the further lives of his beloved “Locas.” But first… wrestling! Penny Century starts off with a blast with “Whoa, Nellie!,” a unique graphic novelette in which Maggie, who has settled in with her pro-wrestler aunt for a while, experiences that wild and woolly world first-hand.

5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth (And Other Useful Guides): In Matthew Inman’s 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth (And Other Useful Guides), samurai sword-wielding kittens and hamsters that love .50-caliber machine guns commingle with a cracked out Tyrannosaur that is extremely hard to potty train.
