The Three Stooges: Little Stooges #1
In "Burgle Gurgle," the Three Stooges take on a wave of neighborhood burglaries with help from a homemade submarine sold by the eccentric Benedict Bogus. When Curly Jr. spots a faulty TV at Mr. Olin’s department store—identical to their stolen one—he starts to suspect the store owner might be more than just a victim. Written by Norman Maurer, Jeff Maurer, and Pete Alvarado, with art and inks by Norman Maurer, this 2025 adventure blends classic slapstick with a clever mystery. The cover, also by Norman Maurer, captures the chaos in bold, expressive lines.

A gang of burglars robs the houses of the Stooges and their neighbors. The Chief of Detectives says the same gang is now using a two-man submarine to rob yachts at sea. The boys are determined to capture the gang for the reward money offered by Mr. Olin, a department store owner who was also robbed. Benedict Bogus sells them a homemade submarine to catch the crooks. Curly Jr. notices that Mr. Olin's store is selling a TV that looks and runs (badly), just like their stolen TV. He discovers that Mr. Olin and his gang are behind the robberies, reselling the stolen goods at the store.
