Issue 5

Blondie and the Hat 5 contains 135 pages and was published in 1995.

From an ad in Media Monitor #34 that was looking for submissions: "Another themed issue. Everything's relative with Rick and A.J.! I'm looking for stories, poetry, cartoons, etc., featuring a Simon relation from the show (Cecilia, Jack, Uncle Ray, Elizabeth, Wilbur and Orville!) or original characters. How about further tales of Wayne and Benedict? Or Black Jack and Sir Francis?"
