The Three Stooges #9
In "Bothersome Berth," the Three Stooges accidentally damage movie star Gilda Glitter’s car, prompting her to exclaim they should be "shot"—a line they take literally as a casting call. Pivoting from chaos to heroism, they sneak onto a film set to rescue her precious necklace from unseen thieves. Joe Messerli handles art, inking, and lettering in this 1962 Dell comic, capturing the trio’s slapstick antics with crisp, expressive detail.
