In "On Veut Rester Comme On Est!" (Growing Pains!), Eli and Ollie find themselves in trouble with their dads after a series of well-intentioned but wildly impractical inventions—starting with an alarm clock, a pendulum-powered shoe shine, and a punch clock that fights back, all leading to a grandfather clock that announces the hour on the dot. Written and drawn by Frank Johnson, this 1965 gem from Arédit-Artima captures the chaotic charm of childhood experimentation, with Sheldon Mayer’s cover art perfectly framing the mischievous energy of the moment.
