Review/plot:
Wyatt Wingfoot ("that rovin' red-skinned mass of muscle" - Johnny) is in this issue, so that means we get to fight Indian totems. Except it's really all a scheme by the Red Star oil company to drive Wingfoot's tribe off its oil rich land.

Previous appearances by Wyatt have kept the Indian bit fairly low key (whatever happened to that sub-plot with the coach of ESU trying to recruit Wyatt for the football team?), but this one is pretty offensive. It also features Crystal in a cleaning apron.

To be fair, Johnny is housecleaning too, although he's not wearing an apron.

Of course, any issue where Reed gets scrunched up into a ball and shot out of a bazooka can't be all bad, can it?

"Hey Wyatt, have you got a bazooka in the jeep?" "Oh, sure."

Wyatt and Johnny are on summer vacation, just in case you were wondering why they weren't in school. It is a summer vacation that will last the rest of their lives.
