Lauren, 62, is no longer interested in selling simply the odd logo shirt or golf jacket. He wants nothing less than to meet the European designers head on. What's more, he feels he has to. Although Lauren is the world's biggest-selling fashion designer (retail customers spend more than $10 billion a year on products bearing the Ralph Lauren name), Wall Street dismisses Polo Ralph Lauren as just another apparel company. If financial analysts would consider it a purveyor of luxury goods, the stock price--and Lauren, who owns 89% of the company--would be all the richer...
...venture with four shoemakers. And Marzotto, the new owner of Valentino, has promised that Val will get his own accessories plant too.

Sporting a mullet and a T-shirt that says "Empire Builder" on it, Hipman drives around in his one-man European car, worrying about how hip he is. Since this is a Crumb comic, a big-legged, big-chested Amazon soon puts him out of sorts, getting him in trouble with an even more diminutive, backwards-baseball-capped, trash-talking "gangsta'" named "Fishlips."
