All Top Comics #6
In "It Often Takes a Little Thing to Make a Fellow Glad!", Will Eisner delivers a delightfully absurd slice of mid-century humor through the misadventures of Uncle Otto, whose day spirals into a series of bizarre mishaps—from a baffling Swedish massage to a bafflingly bad fight, a radiator meltdown, and a spaghetti struggle that ends with a mask too terrifying to remove. A rare solo outing by Eisner in 1957, this quirky, character-driven short showcases his signature blend of visual wit and gentle absurdity, all rendered in his unmistakable, expressive style.
