Flipper #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Flipper... Learning How," Flipper and the boys face a real-life mystery when they spot a pop can with "HELP" scrawled on it floating in the water. Dan Spiegle’s dynamic artwork brings the tense underwater rescue to life as Bud and Sandy uncover a smuggling operation involving rifles and a helicopter, leading to a dramatic showdown on the open sea. The cover by Dan Spiegle captures the action with a classic 1960s flair.
In this 18-panel gag strip from Flipper #3 (1967), a sailor reels in a striking mermaid, only to be told by a shore-bound inspector that she’s too small to count as a proper catch—forcing him to send her back into the waves. The humor lies in the deadpan bureaucracy of the moment, where the rules don’t account for mythical creatures, no matter how stunning.
