From Here to Insanity #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two stories. The first, "Van Monotone," follows a character attempting to teach a new dance step called "Doin' the Sittin' Talk" by moving only while standing still beside a partner. His eccentric invention causes chaos among musicians and dancers, culminating in the word "Boinng!" becoming a sensation in the jazz world. The second story promotes "Grapple," a new game that involves piling wooden chips on a table and diving in to grab a fistful, with the winner being whoever makes the first hole in the table; the promotional text claims players can win prizes and even their neighbor's car with the deluxe set.
Dance instructor Arthur Flurry unveils his latest creation, "The Jazz Matazz," with help from an unconventional teaching method—psychiatry—to unlock students' hidden dance potential. When a psychiatrist named Dr. Libido puts the method to the test, the results prove spectacularly over-the-top, sending Flurry through a wild sequence of dance styles spanning from primitive fire dances to modern mambo. But as the craze spreads, Flurry has second thoughts about unleashing such a dangerous phenomenon on the youth of America—until Dr. Libido proposes an even more radical solution.
Dr. Sheckle, a famous brain surgeon, is caught napping before he's due to broadcast his next operation on television—and when he stumbles onto the air half-asleep, chaos erupts as he agrees to perform simultaneous surgeries on both King Kong and Prof. Winestein for ten thousand dollars. What could possibly go wrong when a weary, makeup-obsessed doctor operates live on camera with a gorilla and a scientist as patients?
