Notes: Part 3 of 7. Parts 2-6 each spotlight a different member of the American Flagg! supporting cast. The final part in issue #27 brings all the feature's characters together for a full-length episode.

This installment's spotlighted character is Raul the Cat.

A subplot involving Raul, a robot mouse, and a robot dog is an homage-parody of the George Herriman newspaper strip Krazy Kat.

Deiter "Daddy Fleshbucks" Reich is a porn-themed parody of the Daddy Warbucks character from the Little Orphan Annie newspaper strip.
