Archie's Madhouse #34
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Super-Eye Guy," Archie's Madhouse takes a delightfully absurd turn with a lineup of gloriously impractical sports gear—twin surfing boards, cement-mixer football players, motor scooter polo, and pogo sticks for basketball—each more ridiculous than the last. The chaotic fun is brought to life by Joe Edwards' all-around work on art, inks, and lettering, capturing the manic energy of the Madhouse in full swing. The cover, by Samm Schwartz and Dan DeCarlo, perfectly mirrors the issue's offbeat spirit.
In "Super-Eye Guy," Lennie, the Professor's nephew, tries to impress his friends with a pair of experimental eye-drops that grant him x-ray vision—only to accidentally overdose and find himself seeing *too* much. Suddenly, every glance through walls, clothes, or even people’s thoughts becomes an overwhelming, hilariously awkward burden.
In "Mad House Summer Jobs for Teens," Jo and her friends dive into a series of hilariously absurd summer gigs—from caddying for caddies to pasting trading stamps and selling pencils to girls who’d rather flirt than buy. It’s a lighthearted, classic slice of teenage mischief, full of playful energy and the kind of small-town charm that made Archie’s Madhouse a staple of 1964 humor.
In "Mad House Sports Equipment," Archie's Madhouse #34 (1964), Jo and the gang dive into a hilariously absurd sports world where the gear is as wild as the games—bowling balls that guarantee strikes, pogo sticks for basketball, and motor scooters for polo. With a mix of slapstick and surreal twists, every sport gets a ridiculous upgrade, turning the field into a playground of impossible play.
In a delightfully silly twist, a group of confused aliens stumbles upon an optometrist's office, convinced they've finally found a way to communicate—until they realize the letters on the eye chart aren't a language, but just… letters. Written by unknown creators, this one-page gem from *Archie's Madhouse #34* (1964) turns a routine eye exam into a cosmic misunderstanding with a punchline that’s as simple as it is absurd.
