Casper & Nightmare #22
In "Straw Pull," Casper the Friendly Ghost stumbles into a strange rush when he loses the wristwatch from The Old Grandfather Clock while rescuing Flufftail the Rabbit from quicksand—only to find himself back at a normal pace. As he watches Fatso and other forest animals moving at breakneck speeds, all wearing identical gift wristwatches, Casper begins to suspect the watches are tied to the sudden epidemic of hyperactivity sweeping the woods. Warren Kremer handles both the interior art and the cover, bringing his distinctive style to this 1968 Harvey classic.

Stopping his accelerated pace long enough to quickly rescue Flufftail the Rabbit from a quicksand pit, Casper loses the wristwatch given to him by The Old Grandfather Clock and suddenly returns to a normal pace. Observing Fatso (who has worked himself skinny at a breakneck pace of exercise) and many of the forest animals who are also sporting gift wristwatches, Casper realizes a connection between the wristwatches and the epidemic of accelerated speed.
