And He's Not Going to Use the Elevator

July 26, 1987
Newton Veeblefester. Huh. We need more strips like this. Not stealing an old dying man's money, but, well, actually I guess that is what I want to see more of. Odd-ass gags that make people raise an eyebrow.

I guess it's time to change my name to Newton Veeblefester and go a-grave robbing.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. I guess with the panel where Veeblefester offers to push Brutus around in the chair. I don't care if they are going to the dumpster, this seems out-of-character for Veeblefester.





It's Halloween week so I will be showcasing some old Halloween posts over the next six days. First up, a mysterious fog is killing people aboard ships. Will the crew of the Vulcanus meet the same fate? "The Vampire Fog" from Weird Horrors #1 (June 1952, St. John Publications).
