Quorn, the most popular meat substitute in Europe, is little known in the U.S., but its manufacturer, Britain's Marlow Foods, wants to change that.

All the while, with smart storytelling skill Derf moves "Trashed" beyond the merely repulsive. Unlike so many anecdotal autobio comix...
...freshmen Sabin and Stefanchik. Sabin led off the inning with a double and pinch runner Louisa Canham advanced to third on a Goldberg sacrifice. Stefanchik reached base easily on a grounder as the Princeton fielder had to look Canham back to third.
