Battlestar Galactica meets The Hitchhiker's Guide-for a game of darts, over shots! Meet space pilot Highball, the best shot in the galaxy-except for one problem: he can only hit the target when he's dead drunk. In this outrageous first issue, he faces off against a fierce but alluring bird-warrior, a disturbingly racist A.I., a crypto-obsessed fellow pilot, the maddening bureaucracy of Space Corp-and, of course, his own shameful inadequacies. Highball: saving the galaxy, one pint at a time!
Highball and his fellow space pilots travel to the sanctum of the Mentok, alien rulers of humanity, where they learn... nothing, as usual. They just blow a bunch of stuff up! Plus, the mystery of the captain deepens. Wait, is that even a thing? I can't remember.
It's a "Battle in the Trees" when Highball tries to return the remains of a dead bird-warrior to her home planet. Featuring more action, more angst, more alcohol, and more very, very bad decisions!
Cue up the laugh track! Comedian Melville Snelson doesn't know how many oxycontins he took. (Laughter) His shows are bombing. (Laughter) His website is attracting trolls who threaten violence. (Laughter) A comic he identifies with just committed suicide. (Laughter, applause) Time for a near-death experience with the possibility of a fatal encore. (Crickets) Plus: prose & pix, AHOY-style
In the 1990s, 'edgy' standup comic Melville Snelson had it all - but twenty-five years later, his jokes come off as tired and offensive. Desperate for a comeback, Snelson sets out on tour with a group of young, socially conscious comedians. Can a '90s has-been hit the big time, or is Snelson about to be cancelled for good? A hilarious, definitely adult contemporary satire that mocks the dying breaths of white male entitlement. Contains all five chapters of Snelson: Comedy Is Dying and the five little-seen episodes that introduced the character in the back pages of Hashtag: Danger.

Snelson's standup comedy is two decades past its sell-by date, and hecklers now outnumber fans. His interpretation of this rejection-as cancellation for being edgy-propels Snelson to the fringes of alt-right podcasting. All AHOY titles include bonus illustrated prose stories.
This sharp, satirical look at faded hipsters, fringe media, and false cries of cancel culture continues. Faintly famous comedian Melville Snelson braves the blindingly pristine office of his intimidating book editor - with zero writing to show for his high-dollar advance. Plus, prose fiction, illustrated!
