☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Nuts!" #3 is a humor comic anthology featuring several stories, including "That Crazy Mad Comic," where a woman working at a hand laundry must fend off various male suitors while dealing with domestic mishaps; "How to Marry a Zillionaire or Flat Foot Floosie Loves Me!," in which a woman torn between multiple romantic interests becomes engaged to a man she doesn't love, leading to comedic chaos; and a story involving a character named Gertie and a plumber, with misadventures at a theater and domestic confusion. The issue is rounded out with various humorous tales and advertisements, including a bodybuilding mail-order course promotion featuring Jim Norman.
This 1954 humor romp from *Nuts!* follows Prince Oyly Cann's relentless—and increasingly absurd—pursuit of the glamorous Rosita Oatmeal across Hollywood, New York, and beyond, all while she's convinced she's chasing after her dream man, Nick Shaymes. As Oyly showers her with diamonds and schemes to win her heart, Rosita finds herself swept up in a madcap international chase that tests her resolve and empties her pockets. The real surprise awaits at the wedding altar, where nothing turns out quite as either of them planned.
When Uncle Quagmire's greedy relatives rush to bury him and claim his fortune, they make a crucial mistake—the old codger isn't quite as dead as they thought. Trapped six feet under with nothing but rats, a pipe organ, and his own rage for company, Uncle Quagmire claws his way back to the surface, only to find his relatives throwing a lavish party on his dime. What follows is a chaotic, darkly comic reckoning as the undead uncle crashes his own wake and learns just how little his family actually missed him.
When Gertie Glopp scores free tickets to see her idol Garter Gadflea's radio variety show, she's determined to become his friend—no matter what chaos unfolds backstage at Radio City. This 1954 satire from Nuts! follows Gertie's wild night as she navigates mail-reading segments, shipwrecked quartets, a dastardly poisoning plot, and a sponsor's embalming fluid demonstration, all while the show's cast spirals into mayhem. With pencils by Hy Fleishman, this over-the-top parody of radio show lunacy keeps the energy high and the absurdity higher.
