Bust Out Laffin' #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology of humorous comic gags and single-panel jokes. Featured stories include "Sheila the Stripper" by Harold Sharp, depicting a performer's dance routine, and a gag featuring a police officer viewing a pin-up poster with the caption "I'm up for a Good Conduct Medal, don't louse up my chances." Additional humor panels include a beach scene with the caption "There they are, I'd recognize that pair anywhere," along with various other single-panel jokes typical of 1950s humor magazines.
In "Saronga," a self-proclaimed behind-the-scenes mastermind recounts how he indirectly launched a famous actress’s career by accidentally getting her fired from a pancake-flipping job, setting her on the path to stardom—though he never actually spoke to her. The story unfolds as a humorous, exaggerated tale of celebrity rise, told through a series of boastful, tongue-in-cheek confessions.
Sheila, a confident burlesque performer, finds herself in a playful rivalry with a rival dancer after a bet about who can draw the most applause. When a new apartment complex threatens her nightly routine, she takes a stand — and discovers that her charm might just be the most powerful act of all.
