(W/A/CA) Milt Gross Presenting a comprehensive collection of the major comic strips from Milt Gross; Nize Baby, Count Screwloose, and Dave's Delicatessen, along with other comic strips and offerings from books and magazines.

The sort of place where two enterprising teenagers could really make something of themselves. Or so they say.
