Getting To Know Spudo

Last time we looked at Spudo, i mentioned that his first story in the first issue of The Barker was not actually his first story. We'll get back to that in a bit, but first let's look a little more at our four-armed oddball and his ongoing adventures. Our first story here is written, once again, by Gwen Hansen, with art, as always, by Klaus Nordling -

This time, Klaus takes on the writing chores as well as the artwork -

For our final tale, which was also Spudo's final tale from the last issue of The Barker, the writer is unknown. Best guesses indicate Klaus Nordling was handling it all himself again, but that's unconfirmed...

And so ended the adventures of Spudo.

However - just as Spudo's first story was not his first story, this final tale was not his final tale...
