The Three Stooges #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Nautical Nitwits," Benedict Bogus attempts to cash in on his life story—only to run into trouble when he hires Shemp to ghostwrite his memoirs. What starts as a simple writing gig quickly spirals into chaos, as Shemp’s wildly unorthodox approach turns the book into something far more absurd than Bogus ever imagined. Written, drawn, and inked by Norman Maurer, this 1954 St. John classic features a cover by the same hand, capturing the zany spirit of the tale in a 10-cent comic from the golden age of humor.
Benedict Bogus, convinced his life story is a ticket to fortune, hires Shemp Howard to ghostwrite his memoirs—only to discover that Shemp’s take on his life is far more chaotic than he bargained for. With Moe and Larry adding their own brand of mayhem to the mix, the manuscript spirals into something no one could have predicted.
The Crisco Keed and his sidekick Puncho face their toughest challenge yet when a conniving outlaw named Little Eddie discovers that hair oil is the legendary gunslinger's secret weakness and uses it as bait to take over town. When the one bottle of hair oil Crisco can get his hands on goes missing—intercepted by Little Eddie's gang during a stage robbery meant to distract from the real prize—the vain hero must find the courage to face his rival despite his appearance. It's a wild western romp where vanity, loyalty, and one barrel of lard collide in the most unexpected ways.
