This rapid-fire comic entertainment mixes slapstick and satire in a gag-jammed throwback to the madcap spirit of the Marx Brothers. What passes for a plot is set in a former Italian colony in Africa, the desert Republic of Lunitunia, where there's absolutely no such thing as the Mafia. They do, however, have a little problem with the Maaf'i-aaarrggh... Nubile American lass Penny Vaguely, freshly graduated from Blessèd Rejection College, searches Lunitunia for a missing holy relic. The desert cacti thwanng with menace Sergio Leone-style. Maaf'i-aaarrggh henchmen are hot on her trail. She meets romantic chauffeur Luigi Buub (pronounced with two syllables boo-oob) and they get entangled with rival kidnapping gangs and a basketball mascot on the run for war crimes and &#x2212%x; well, it ain't Madame Bovary! With a dash of S.J. Perelman, a dollop of Spike Milligan and a tasteless flavour entirely its own, Buub to the Rescue is just the ticket if you're in the mood for laughs. Is it ridiculous? You betcha! Offensive too! There's a giggle on every page
