Inspector Fink
11 pp · humor · pencils Bob McCartney · inks Bob McCartney ?

A series of bewildering revelations unfolds when Inspector Fink of Scotland Yard arrives at the Sipplemas household to warn of a dangerous criminal living among them—but nothing is quite what it seems. As accusations fly about hidden rubies, serial killings, and secret identities, the truth becomes increasingly impossible to untangle. Inspector Fink, written and illustrated by Bob McCartney, is a delightfully twisted romp through mistaken identity and domestic chaos that keeps you guessing until the very end.

The Misfit
6 pp · humor · pencils Elk · inks Elk

When Oliver's parents realize their seventeen-year-old son is far too well-behaved and studious to fit in with the neighborhood delinquents, they launch a campaign to push him toward petty crime and mischief—with hilariously misguided results. This 1957 humor story from *From Here to Insanity*, illustrated by Elk, flips the script on 1950s juvenile delinquency panic by making parental concern for their son's "normalcy" the real punchline. Watch as Oliver struggles between his natural inclinations and his parents' increasingly desperate efforts to make him a proper troublemaker.

The Century's most practical inventions
2.8 pp · humor

Basil Wolverton presents a delightfully absurd catalog of impractical contraptions masquerading as solutions to everyday problems—from a conversation-cutting machine that doubles as a log splitter to a nervous knitter kit that finishes socks automatically. Each ridiculous invention is earnestly described as the answer to America's most pressing needs, with hilariously backwards logic driving every design choice. This 1957 humor piece is pure vintage comic book silliness, showcasing Wolverton's signature warped sensibility.

Starlight Starbright
3 pp · humor

Beverly Kalfin, a petite and unaffected blonde from Des Moines, gets discovered singing in a small Italian restaurant where she works as a waitress—and catches the eye of two Broadway producers looking to cast their new musical "Chopped Liver." What starts as a reluctant audition at the piano becomes the performance of her life, with enough charm to win over even the most skeptical audience. This 1957 humor tale from *From Here to Insanity* #1 takes a playful look at the gap between a star's carefully crafted public biography and the sordid truth behind overnight success.

Switch to Waterfront
7 pp · humor · pencils Joe Pena · inks Joe Pena

In this 1957 humor piece, advertising has so thoroughly invaded everyday speech that a waterfront cleanup mission gets completely derailed by product pitches—until one character finally decides to take action against the crime boss Johnny Friendly, only to find that even justice gets interrupted by commercials and a movie nobody's seen. With pencils and inks by Joe Pena, "Switch to Waterfront" is a sharp satire on how consumer culture drowns out everything else, even the serious stuff.
