In "Short Man Goes Fishing," Mary Wilshire crafts a quietly surreal comic where a woman’s daydreams of scientific greatness collide with the messy reality of a struggling science fair project. With Wilshire handling every aspect of the interior art and lettering, the story captures the gap between ambition and execution in a way that’s both whimsical and relatable. The cover by Bob Larkin adds a touch of playful exaggeration to the mix.

In this playful 1982 skewering from *Crazy Magazine* #84, Jo daydreams of being a brilliant pioneer like Madame Curie—until reality crashes in with the messy truth of her struggling science fair project. The story hilariously contrasts her grand fantasy with the very real, very unimpressive mess she’s making in the lab.
