We haven't had an anti-commie laugh fest in a while around here (or a mummy tale!), so let's kill two bonkers birds with one silly story in this confusingly cornball classic from the May 1954 issue of Crazy #6. Sol Brodsky does his Mad Magazine-esque best with the madcap material, so don't blame me...
The anti commie stuff smells like Stan but this does not sound like his writing unless he was doing it really, really quick on a deadline!
ReplyDeleteI love "Conk!"
I have to say, though, one thing I never liked about mad and its imitators is the phonetic accents. It always just makes it hard to read, especially when it's as dense as this. The poor letter!
The middle of page 3 is a great little funny sequence.
A scary looking mummy in a kooky komic, the horror and humor work well together.
ReplyDeleteHey, dig that beefy old mummy! Just what are the steroid benefits of tana leaves, anyway? Looking like Oliver Reed under there.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Brodsky is trying to channel Maneely here.
Speaking of accents, every time I read the Russian voices I somehow hear one of those broad comedy Dutch accents instead.
