Escape from...Barkeater Lake!

Corey Pandolph's Escape from...Barkeater Lake! is a single-issue comic from 2008 that sends up the conventions of small-town horror and survival stories with a deadpan, absurdist humor. Published as a one-shot, it follows the misadventures of characters trying to flee a seemingly idyllic but deeply strange lakeside community. Pandolph, best known for his work on The Simpsons and The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, brings his signature wit and clean, expressive cartooning to this standalone gag. It's a quick, self-contained slice of comedy that showcases his talent for turning a mundane setting into a playground for the bizarre.
