About this episode

Alaska is the setting for the fourth Shovel Bum e-zine extravaganza, featuring Trent DeBoers drawings and real voice. T-Bone and friends have hired out for an archaeological survey at Cold Bay, on the tip the Alaska Peninsula. Their first task is to qualify at rifle-shooting as a precaution against the numerous and huge brown bears. Braving this threat along with wolverines, gales, and floating bogs, T-Bone encounters Japanese fishing floats and huge village sites, sips whisky at the local bar, and finally returns home to Betsy with his new long beard.
