Huckleberry Hound is suffering the consequences of his affair and Snagglepuss is trying to help everyone who is close to him but he will end-up needing more help than anyone else.
This one was a bit better than the last one thankfully.
Mark Russell continues his reinterpretation of Snagglepuss as playwright around the Cold War by showing some of the biggest concerns from that era. The political tone is clearly palpable since the protagonist's career gets quickly involved with the government's interests and that is something that is going to keep being developed in the future which hopefully will reveal more complex themes surrounding history.
However, the best part for me is the character work, about how Snagglepuss deals with the different people involved in his life. Huckleberry Hound is portrayed as pretty sympathetic despite of committing really terrible things concerning his marriage, this also expands the context of the era where this story takes place since it shows how people reacted to certain lifestyles and also connects Huckleberry and Snagglepuss even more. The way how the theater segment is depicted is also nicely done and, as a fan of the old Hanna Barbera cartoons, it was cool to see so many familiar faces involved.
Mike Feehan's pencils are really good, all of his characters are quite detailed and expressive and he manages to mix the antropomorphic beings here with the humans perfectly.
There's a second segment titled Sasquatch Detective written by Brandee Stilwell and is okay but its most disctinctive aspect is that it has a sasquatch as the protagonist because aside from that is just a recollection of little stories that are not worth mentioning. Gustavo Vasquez' cartoony artwork is pretty fitting though.
Solid read overall, hope the characters are further explored.
