Miscellaneous
Pages: 5
Disclose Notes: Contains four full-page pin-ups. The first page shows Pete and his pals and there are 5 different pin-ups on the wall: only 4 of these follow as full-pagers. The original version had a fifth pinup, but it's not the same pose as shown on the first page.

There is no real "story" here, just cheesecake art and a thumbnail description on each page.
