“Road Test”

In "Road Test," Beetle’s frantic search for the Captain’s lost safe key takes a wild turn when it ends up in a garbage truck, sending him on a chaotic dash to the dump. With a speed trap and a suspicious appearance landing him in trouble twice, Beetle’s desperate mission tests just how far he’ll go to make things right—before the key’s found. Written and drawn by Mort Walker, with inks by Fred Rhoads, and a cover by Mort Walker, this 1954 Four Color adventure delivers classic slapstick chaos in a 10-cent comic.
