“it's a Great Life in the Squeejees”

In "It's a Great Life in the Squeejees," Bombo and Biltybux set out to find wives, with hilariously awkward results—while Mr. Biltybux struggles to make a connection, El Bombo finds himself unexpectedly paired with model Poppylolly during a fashion shoot break. The moment takes a surreal turn when Biltybux spots Bombo strolling down the street with Poppylolly, now clad in a wedding gown from her job. Art by Bernard Dibble, with a delightfully absurd cover by Ernie Bushmiller.
