"'The search for Smilin' Ed' was originally serialized in Zero Zero. 'Consider the beaver' appears here for the first time" -- verso.
Summary:
"Finally collected in one volume, Kim Deitch's sprawling whiligig of a yarn 'The search for Smilin' Ed' chronicles his investigation into the secrets behind the life and career of a very strange children's show host and his malevolent (in fact, possibly demonic) sidekick. Aliens turn out to be involved, as does Abraham Lincoln-- and of course Deitch's ever-present protagonist, Waldo the Cat" -- p. [4] of cover.
