Devil Kids Starring Hot Stuff #106

Harvey's long-running all-ages series delivers another charming dose of infernal comedy in this 1981 entry, with Hot Stuff the Little Devil sweating it out on the cover — fan in hand, heat waves radiating off his red little body — while a grumpy anthropomorphic air conditioner blasts cold air his way and quips, "With Hot Stuff, I'm an air-CAN'T-ditioner!" The cave setting, complete with a scowling sun peeking through the entrance, makes the joke land with a smile. Writer and artist Howie Post keeps the humor light and genuinely funny, making this a delightful pick for fans of Harvey's signature brand of warm-hearted (and in this case, very warm) fun.
