RSA LOST ISSUE'S VOLUME 1 NO. 1 - APRIL 1993 - "LOST ISSUE NUMBER 1"
Picking up the storyline of RSA volume 3 issue 26, we find Ralph and Holly Hornswoggle
in her apartment. After his near-sexual encounter with Holly, Ralph finds he is not insane
anymore. Holly however, decides she likes him better insane, and smashes a lamp over his
head. She rants and raves some more, kicks him in the balls, and leaves. Ralph finds her
ex-boyfriends clothes (which are many sizes too large), and heads out on the town.
Soon, Lux the limo driver pulls Ralph out of the gutter, thinking he is world famous brewmeister
H.P. Lar (whom Ralph is a dead ringer for). Lux delivers him to his meeting with the
executives at Backwash Brewery, to whom he is supposed to make a presentation on his new
addictive, mind numbing beer.
Ralph tells the executives he "forgot" the formula, so they
have a couple of thugs kick his ass. Later, Ralph is in the lab attempting to create the addictive
brew. In the meantime, Lux runs over the real H.P. Lar, and delivers him to Backwash Brewery. The
thugs at Backwash decide to have a brewing contest to see who is the real H.P. Lar. Rather than competing
though, Ralph and Lar work together on one formula. Although they are attempting to pull one over on the
Backwash thugs, they do in fact create the addictive mind numbing beer, and are forced to drink it to test
it.
Ralph and Lar procede to tear the place apart, and then escape,
and go out on the town, engaging in zany shenanigans, including "limo surfing" on
Lux's moving limo. Lux grows tired of this, and takes a sharp right, which makes
them fly off the limo. Ralph is immediately captured by the Police, who think he is H.P. Lar (all of Chicago is already wacked
on addictive drought beer), and Lar somehow ends up in front of Holly Hornswoggle's apartment. She, thinking he is Ralph, dumps
a pile of legal documents on him. It seems she is sueing Ralph for "mental cruelty". Meanwhile, Lux the limo
driver finds a cold six pack of addictive Drought beer left in his limo.
