This first issue of Cherry was published in 1982, but the copyright dates on the individual stories are mostly 1977, with one each from 1973 and 1975. Weiz would drop "Poptart" from the title by the third issue after Kellogg's threatened to sue. Archie Comics also threatened to sue, which didn't stop Weiz, but did lead to him dropping one of the stories here from reprints.
Hot Rod Boogie sees Cherry swapping oral sex for a chance at the wheel of a hotrod, with typically chaotic results.
Vampironica by guest artist/writer Larry Todd is the one which had to be pulled from reprints. It is a combined parody of Vampirella and the Archie gang, featuring Orgie and his drug-addicted friend Junkhead. Vampironica dons her custom-made vampire fangs and heads out to a 'Lil' Feces' show hoping to hook up with special guest Mick Jugular. There is at least one big laugh, but the ending is kind of random.
The Wholesome Twins, by guest Jay Kinney, is perhaps the funniest of the stories. A tale of sexy identical twins, one of whom gets a job working for the CIA, much to the other's disapproval. When she gets sick, her sister reluctantly fills in for her, and accidentally uncovers a bizarre conspiracy.
In "The Invitation" Cherry finds herself indulging in some girl-on-girl action while chatting with a boy on the phone.
In "'S Cool Daze'" she gets told off by her teacher Mr. Feeney for not paying attention in class, and it leads where you'd expect it to lead.
The Psylicone Psyrcus finishes things off with a little science fiction. Space-dwelling Trina Tron borrows her dad's spaceship without permission and goes for a joyride with a couple of dim-witted guy friends, which is all well and good until she gets distracted by a hunky space-biker.
Don't expect clever satire, but it provides plenty of entertainment for those who like sleazy comics featuring cheeky free-spirited girls.
