Giggle Comics #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Grouch Club" in Giggle Comics #8 (1944) delivers a delightfully offbeat tale of a bear whose basement leak leads to an unusual repairman: Short-Circuit, a robot plumber drafted during wartime shortages. With all the human quirks of a real plumber—forgetting tools, taking long breaks—Short-Circuit’s antics turn the job into a farce. Ken Hultgren’s expressive art brings the mechanical mishaps to life, both in the story and on the cover, where his distinctive pencils and inks capture the humor and charm of this wartime oddity.
In this 1944 slice of vintage humor from Giggle Comics #8, Spooky and his Pop attempt to scare off the new tenant—a no-nonsense raccoon—by rattling chains and creaking floorboards. But the raccoon’s unfazed; he’s already weathered worse from his own rowdy kids, making ghostly tricks utterly pointless.
Charley Crow, the perpetually grumpy bird, thinks he’s finally found his people when he’s invited to join the Grouch Club—only to fail the membership test when he can’t help but laugh at a photo of Hitler, portrayed as a pig.
In this 1944 gem from Giggle Comics #8, a frustrated bear summons a robot plumber named Short-Circuit to fix a leaky basement—only to find the mechanical repairman has all the same quirks as a human, from forgetful habits to a lengthy lunch break. When the robot’s flaws leave the job undone, the bear takes matters into his own paws, improvising a fix with parts from the very machine meant to help.
