Name That Cameo, PART V (The Final Chapter)! I hope you recognize Slick and Monique in the first and third panels. They are visiting (with permission, even!) from that social satire known as Sinfest. Excellently-rendered by the one and only Tatsuya Ishida, Sinfest has just a bit too much edge on it to appear in your daily newspaper (in much the same way that a carbon-steel katana has too much edge on it to be left in the crib with the baby.) Go read it, and if you cut yourself, don't blame me.

Hey, you may have spotted a dragonboy eating a duck up there in the third row. He belongs to Arius Elvikis, and if you want to see more of him, as well as his handlers, Zesto and Al, link on over to Dragonboy. Leave your waterfowl at home, though.
