Last is “Feeling Peachy” by Lucie Ebrey. TV receives an email with a map about the legendary snack. Excited, he sets off on a quest to find it.

TV is grossed out by the fact that it’s a fruit, and goes back home. The wizards that sent the email instead have to settle for tuna casserole.
Overview:
All the stories this time around have the Adventure Time spirit, with colorful art as a bonus. Everyone seems to be having fun in one way or another, and even if there’s a lesson to be learned, it’s still a great adventure.
Feeling Peachy is probably the weakest link, and while Ebrey’s art is lovely and stays true to TV’s character, it didn’t mesh as well with the other stories. However, altogether this issue is fun, lighthearted, and has a lot of personalities. For those wanting a cute and enjoyable read, this issue is worth picking up.
