“Walter & Benny Strike a Deal” appeared in Legal Action Comics #2, an anthology edited and published by Danny Hellman in 2003 to raise funds for his continuing legal troubles with Ted Rall. Benny’s name was originally Danny, but I rechristened him so that readers wouldn’t think he was a puzzlingly inaccurate caricature of Hellman. Their adventures had first aired as a slide show, which is why the captions are below the panels. Here’s the first page.
Danny Hellman made up a page with digital shading, which was very pretty; but I opted for the directness of unalloyed pen and ink.
