Eh! #4

Hoiman the cabbie thinks he's finally found peace by installing a wire-mesh grill between himself and his passengers—until his solution creates a whole new set of problems when Officer Hennessy catches wind of his unconventional approach to driver-passenger relations. This seven-page humor romp from 1954 captures the chaos of city cab life, where a well-meaning hack can't catch a break no matter what he tries, whether it's patience, friendliness, or protective barriers.

This spirited take on Longfellow's famous poem follows Paul Revere as he races through the Massachusetts countryside on his midnight ride, warned by lanterns hung in the Old North Church tower that the British are on the move. With humor laced throughout—from his impatient horse to his increasingly exasperated cries as he gallops from village to village—the story captures both the drama of the historical moment and the chaos of a man trying to rouse sleeping colonists to arms. It's a colorful, comedic retelling of one of America's most celebrated rides, told with the wild energy Eh! comics are known for.

A series of comedic vignettes present supposed statistics and research findings about women, relationships, and marriage—each illustrated with exaggerated domestic and romantic scenarios that hilariously contradict or subvert the claims being made. From wage-earning wives to cross-cultural clothing customs to the surprising benefits of marrying an older woman, "Histerical News!" spins absurdist humor out of the gap between serious-sounding data and ridiculous real-world results. It's mid-50s comic book satire at its most straightforward: take a "fact," add a punchline, repeat.

Inside the outrageous world of the quiz show "What's My Crime?", the panelists fumble their way through increasingly absurd guesses—from watchmaker to Santa Claus—while the show's host and guests descend into pure chaos. As the program lurches from one wild mystery guest to the next, Juan Galey presides over a carnival of bad accents, aggressive sponsors, and increasingly hostile audience reactions. It's a wickedly funny satire of the golden age of radio and television game shows, where nobody really knows what's going on and the whole thing is one comic disaster waiting to happen.
