Notes: Story begins on inside front cover in color and ends on inside back cover in color.

The story reads as if it were two separate tales; a shorter opening entry about the escalating backyard feud... from which Andy and Charlie retreat and head west for a completely different adventure.

The story is presented as three-tiers per page, except for pages 26 and 29 which are four-tiers per page.
