In this delightfully absurd 1941 gem from Big Shot Comics #13, Mr. Bungle’s attempt to stay dry backfires in the most comically unfortunate way—what starts as a simple trip home with a mountain of packages turns into a slippery, soggy mishap when an umbrella he buys for the rain ends up being the last thing he needs.
