J.C. Duffy's hilariously unique comic strip, The Fusco Brothers, features the four Fusco bachelors -- Lance, Rolf, Lars and Al -- along with Lance's girlfriend, Gloria, and Axel, the Fuscos' faithful wolverine. These wacky characters startle, shock and delight readers with their off-the-wall antics and verbal acrobatics.

Axel the Wolverine A wolverine who is frequently mistaken for a dog, 16-year-old Axel has all the problems of a typical American teenager, plus
