Eh! #3

Captain Blither commands the H.M.S. Botany with gleeful cruelty, tormenting his crew—including the long-suffering Mister Gristson and Washington Jones—with increasingly absurd punishments and pranks across a voyage fraught with flooding cargo holds and flooded cabins. When the ship spots an island of mysterious women, the chaotic captain's madness reaches new heights as he reveals an unexpected talent for magic. It's a riotous parody of nautical adventure tales, packed with slapstick mayhem and the kind of over-the-top satire that made Eh! comics the oddball gems of 1950s humor publishing.

Two rival department store moguls, Murdock Masey and Jerkimer Jimbel, wage an escalating battle of corporate sabotage and scheming that sends both their stores into absolute chaos. When spies, surprise sales, and consumer stampedes turn their competition into open warfare, neither ruthless businessman can predict where the madness will end or what they'll discover in the aftermath.

Inspector Moe Ronn's recent dental work gives him an unexpected advantage when he pursues a gang of bank robbers and counterfeiters—his new filling picks up radio signals, letting him track the crooks while staying entertained. This absurdist parody from the pages of *Eh!* turns a simple trip to the dentist into the strangest case of Ronn's career.

Marvin Pain, Private Eye, takes on a case when a woman desperately asks him to find her sister, who's fallen in with a dangerous crowd—leading him straight into a tangle with foreign thugs, a mysterious countess, and some explosive secrets. This satirical romp from 1954 gleefully spoofs the hard-boiled detective genre, complete with melodramatic twists, interruptions from tobacco advertisers, and more plot reversals than you can shake a fedora at. If you love over-the-top parody that doesn't take itself seriously for a second, this one's a wild ride.
