Despite the fluctuating illustration quality, Farmer and Chevely's writing is nearly flawless throughout the book and I was sorely tempted to score it "brilliant." The inking for "The American Dream" is more carefully rendered, perhaps owing to the author's grave regard for story's message. The artwork in Pandoras Box Comix looks a bit rushed and unpolished in places, but there are instances when the sparse line art is well designed and effectively conveys emotion or mood. The story's dark climax is a chilling reminder of how violently-and pointedly-a woman's repressed anguish may suddenly erupt. Following this jab at the creators of Snatch Comics, Farmer and Chevely collaborate on the story of a young wife and mother named Susanne in "The American Dream," which portrays an unrewarding life of female servitude that resolves itself with a most disturbing denouement.

The book also features Chevely's wicked satire of Kim Casali's syndicated comic strip, Love Is., which was exploding in popularity in the early '70s. Each sister has a distinct personality that is quickly developed in these sexually frank and beguiling tales. Pandoras Box Comix (the expected apostrophe was omitted) features a collection of short stories, several of which feature the Peters sisters three young-and-nearly-broke feminists named Wanda, Fonda and Glinda, who live together while seeking satisfactory lifestyles in a chauvinist world. But after the June, 1973 Supreme Court ruling about obscenity, the duo decided to avoid a potential bust and changed the title to Pandoras Box Comix, which was published in November and bitterly dedicated to "the U.S. The following year, Farmer and Chevely produced another book that they intended to be the second issue of Tits & Clits.
