MR. LIZARD 3-D SPECIAL - MAY 1993 - "MR. LIZARD GOES TO COLLEGE"
Mr. Lizard goes to college at Stately College University, where the founder had a "strange thing for dogs." After registration, he meets his zombified roommate Dwight, who stares blankly into space. After trying to strike up a conversation, Mr. Lizard gives up and kicks back with a few brews and some loud music. Mr. Lizard goes to class and mouths off to one of his radical feminist professors, and so the radical feminist students in the class kick his ass.
Then Mr. Lizard gets a job as an equipment manager for the football team. He screams at the players to "clean up their mess" in the locker room; one of them snaps a smelly jockstrap on his snout, and he retaliates by giving the player a "super wedgie." The player chases him all over campus, but Mr. Lizard loses him by running onto the stage of a packed auditorium. However, when Mr. Lizard leaves the stage area, the player is there waiting for him; so he then goes back on stage with the player, who he introduces as his assistant, following.
The player is surprised by the audience clapping for them, so Mr. Lizard takes advantage of this and pushes him onto a rolling cart and ties him down. He then performs a few tricks, culminating with him smashing the cart (and the player) into the wall. Mr. Lizard receives a rousing ovation; He heads back to his dorm room with some adoring hot chicks from his audience in tow. Surprisingly, Dwight (who was "cured" by Mr. Lizard's loud rock and roll) is already having a party! Mr. Lizard asks a hot chick if she would like to go out with him, and when she says "yes", he faints on the floor.

Here's a video (53 secs) of Tony Caputo, most likely from April, 1993, in a promo for the Mr. Lizard capsule. Needless to say it's pretty lame and would've been shown on a TV monitor at the Summer's comic conventions (in a running loop with other promos). What's odd is that Caputo is right in front of a Ralph Snart headstone! What a funny guy!

ALSO IN THIS ISSUE
A reprint (in 3-D of course) of the four page story by John Hartman that appeared in RSA Volume 3, Issue 26, that announced the then upcoming Mr. Lizard monthly series that was never published; this may have been an indicator that NOW was again planning a Mr. Lizard monthly series, but the end was very near for NOW Comics. Also included are cool 3-D glasses, and the instant Mr. Lizard capsule, which can be seen in the scan of the back cover of the issue here. In the upper left hand corner of the back cover can be seen a full scale (2-1/2 inches high) illustration of what the sponge looks like after immersion in water.
