| 9.11.00: Setting the tone for the series, we're introduced to the CandyMan, a lost soul whose repentance may be too late. | |
| 9.18.00: The introduction of Manhandle and Slim, two loveable characters. Also introducing the ongoing theme of "stabbings". | |

| 10.01.00: The first appearance of McClusky and the Angel. While it is not shown whether the Angel actually exists or if it's only in McClusky's head, the terror is all too real. | |
| 10.07.00: The introduction of Styles and Frank "Shiv" Wallace III. A playful look at the nature of sound. | |

| 11.07.00:Riot! We soon discover that prison isn't all fun and games and laughter. The lack of dialogue in this strip highlights the action and lets the reader "feel" the strip rather than "emote" the strip | |
| 11.13.00: O'toole confronts the mastermind behind the riot, Carmen Peter Albano, only to question the insanity of it all, and his role in it. | |

| 01.09.01: Diesel Pete's Lady Macbeth impression creates shower-time fun as we're also introduced to a new character, the Foppish Dandy. He's dreamy. | |
| 01.24.01: Culinary critiquing lands an ornery inmate in a heap o' trouble! 2nd Degree trouble! | |
|
01.30.01: The dark side of prison: solitary. |
|
| 02.08.01:Guest Prison Funnies!
Still unable to accept his fate, the Candyman hearkens back to better days,
days of yore, only to realize, on a subconscious level, those days, were
in fact, not yore.

| 02.27.01: Diesel Pete comforts Big Tony after Jesus ruthlessly claims another young boy's soul. But questions remain, questions which may well be answered by panel three. Or even panel two. No wait, three. | |
| 03.06.01: A happy hippy's fanciful brain flight is cut short with little, if any, chance for a refund. | |
| 03.13.01: A harmless game goes horribly right, leaving Diesel Pete mildly upset! | |
