We use two-dimensional QCD as a toy laboratory to study off-forward parton
distributions (OFPDs) in a covariant field theory. Exact expressions (to le
ading order in 1/N-C) are presented for OFPDs in this model and are evaluat
ed for some specific numerical examples. Special emphasis is placed on comp
aring the x>zeta and x<<zeta> regimes as well as on analyzing the implicati
ons for the light-cone description of form factors.
