Utilising in-depth reviews, cast and plot details, Slimetime wallows in those films which the world has deemed it best to forget - everything from cheesy no-budget exploitation to the embarrassing efforts of Major Studios. Many of these films have never seen a major release, some were big hits, and others have simply vanished. To compliment the wealth of reviews on sci-fi, schlock, flower power and puppet people films are detailed essays on specific sleaze genres such as Biker, Blaxploitation and Drug movies. Fully updated and revised with new reviews and new illustrations.
For Gunther Grizzwell, holding down a day job is no simple feat. It takes dedication (to complete his daily naps), fortitude (to tolerate his irksome porcupine sidekick Pierpoint), and tenacity (to never stop searching for his next snack). In this e-book only collection of Grizzwells comics, Gunther and Pierpoint are the VIPs of the forest. Whether discussing the merits of daytime television, the latest confusing fashion trends, or their all-time favorite meals, every day at their woodland office is guaranteed to be comical, zany, and entirely unproductive. Clever and sharply drawn, The Grizzwells is a funny and unpredictable spin on the traditional family comic strip—with bite. Created by award-winning artist Bill Schorr, it has been in syndication nationally for more than twenty years.

All Wendy Ashbubble has ever wanted is to draw comics as well as Charles Schultz’s Peanuts—and to one day see her creations grace the pages of a major daily newspaper. Growing up in Victoria in the 1970s, Wendy dreams of getting out, getting away … and getting recognition for her talent. And there’s another, never-whispered motivation that prompts her to seek her fortune: a deeply buried memory and unshakeable belief that her unknown father is Ronald Reagan, the fortieth president of the United States. A chance meeting in Victoria with an attractive-but-mysterious travelling artist inspires Wendy to take the plunge, and she runs away to live in a dilapidated artists’ commune in San Francisco. There, amid the haze of top-quality weed, unbridled creativity, and unfettered sex, her dream begins to take tangible shape. With the aid of Frank Fleecen, an up-and-coming bonds trader and agent, Wendy’s Strays are soon competing for newsprint space against the likes of Berkeley Breathed, Jim Davis, and Bill Watterston … even against Wendy’s beloved Charles Schultz himself. But there are darker shades on the pencilled horizon: the spectre of AIDS, unexplained disappearances, bad therapy, junk bonds, demonology, and SEC agents investigating Frank’s business protocols. The Road Narrows As You Go is simultaneously the portrait of a young woman struggling to find her place and a bright, rollicking, unflinching depiction of the 1980s. It embodies all the brash optimism and ruthless amoralism of the decade, as well as its preoccupation with repressed memories, and fully captures the flavour of an uncertain but deeply vibrant era.
In this popular showbiz historical mystery set in the 80s, radio talk show host Veronica Slate decides to do some daytime "moonlighting" on a St. Pete Beach, Florida movie set. But she never expects the on–camera make–believe to develop into a real–life murder mystery, or that her own boyfriend, Detective David Parrish, would be found holding the smoking gun in one of the cleverest frame–ups ever, on–screen or off. It's up to Veronica Slate to uncover the plot that began with a killing in California, a drug cartel in Colombia, and a "phantom" film director from who–knows–where, while she sidesteps a seductive leading man, a vindictive "other woman," a devious stand–in, and a death–dealing mastermind who's re–writing the scenario, with the lovely Veronica Slate in the role of dying heroine.
