"The Naked Cosmos" contains four episodes hosted by the enigmatic "Quintas," a TV prophet promoting his Cosmic Connections to the Collective Mindstream. He does so through "The Naked Cosmos," his weekly program. To help him along is an unlikely crew of regulars: Mr. Mims, the nervous, anxious announcer; Mistress Velda, the lovely cataloguer of celestial events; Ego, Master of Teleportation; The Chief, who wears a leopard mask and barks out orders in Spanish; and Zansky, the strange collector of bizarre films who hails from Dimension 9.

"... It's heartening to see so much talent and dedication at work in the under-appreciated medium of personal, as opposed to corporate, comics. I also enjoyed watching so many introverts (I oughta know) squirming in front of the camera, valiantly trying to explain the unexplainable." - Bill Griffith, creator of Zippy the Pinhead
