Description

The fourth collection of the syndicated newspaper comic strip Candorville, by Darrin Bell. Barack Obama's historic election - not to mention Lemont's journalism career - hinges on a secret mission to rescue a prisoner of war. Lemont survives Embedded Journalists Boot Camp, but can he survive the boat mission up Vietnam's Nodung River with Anderson Cooper and a crew of misfit soldiers? And what horrifying secret awaits them all at the river's end? At home, Susan dates the Boyfriend-from-Hell as Dick Fink tries to steal her job. C-Dog goes to unbelievable lengths to prove Lemont's fiancee is cheating and that Lemont may not be Lionel's father. And when comedian George Carlin dies, Lemont accompanies him on his final journey and accidentally discovers the meaning of life. Candorville has been described as "This generation's Doonesbury, only a lot more surreal and irreverent." Contains a whopping 750 comics
