Giggle Comics #25

"The Duke and the Dope" follows a naive character who falls under the mind-control influence of Professor Hood, a mad scientist paralyzed in body but dangerous in intellect, who needs a willing subject to carry out his schemes. As the controlled dupe is sent to steal radium and activate a world-threatening machine, his quick-witted companion races to break the professor's mental grip before catastrophe strikes. Ken Hugren delivers a wild tale of telepathic villainy, theft, and last-second heroics that proves sometimes a well-aimed cane is the best defense against mad science.

Wisby Wolf has set a cunning trap with corn to lure a pig to dinner, but his scheme goes hilariously sideways when an officer mistakes the fleeing pig for a criminal and the chase spirals into complete chaos. With one misadventure piling onto another—from a traffic stop to a rigged traffic sign—Wisby's meal keeps slipping away, and by the time the dust settles, he's the one left empty-handed while his quarry has run off all his excess weight.
