Archie's Madhouse #26
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Jinx Minx," Joe and Janet brave Professor Transistor’s latest invention, hoping a brain machine will boost Joe’s IQ just enough to pass algebra—only to find his intelligence (and head size) skyrocketing to absurd levels. With Joe now smarter than ever—and increasingly overwhelmed—his return to the lab sets off a chain of chaotic consequences. Art by Joe Edwards and a cover by Samm Schwartz bring the zany sci-fi mischief to life in this 1963 classic.
In a delightfully silly one-pager from Archie's Madhouse #26, a Pink Martian tries to impress an Earth girl with a fact about Mars—where it snows daily—only to get a cheeky comeback about snow jobs. The humor lands with a wink, blending sci-fi silliness and playful banter in a classic Madhouse-style gag.
When Joe and Janet visit Professor Transistor’s lab to boost Joe’s IQ for his algebra exam, the brain machine does exactly what it’s supposed to—except it goes a little too far, turning Joe into a genius with a head that’s grown far too large. Now, with smarts beyond measure and a skull to match, Joe’s quick to realize that being too smart might be its own kind of problem.
