The Bollard Bulletin: July 16, 2024

A Cartoon Tuesday Double Feature (kinda)! Plus some punks, lies and films

When we last left our hero, Bollardhead was given a “dimpled facelift” by his lovely tusked girlfriend, Semra, in a black-and-white episode from March 2006. Turns out illustrator Martin Shields has a full-color version of that episode, shared here along with the next episode of Bollardhead’s anti-superhero saga. Enjoy!
