Bib et Zette #28
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.

Le père d'Eli est mécontent d'Eli lorsqu'il réveille son père avec un réveil, fait briller ses chaussures avec le pendule d'une horloge, monte une horloge à poinçons pour réellement frapper en arrière et fabrique une horloge annoncer l'heure toutes les minutes. Ollie's dad is dissatisfied with Ollie when he wakes up his dad with an alarm clock, shines his shoes with the pendulum from a grandfather clock, rigs a punch clock to actually punch back and makes a grandfather clock announce the time every minute.
