Ha Ha Comics #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Health Cure," Dennis Drake wakes from a dream of being drafted—only to find himself drawn into a surreal, satirical world where Adolf Goose plots to "Exterminate Ducks" and bears twist geese necks, all reported in the absurd "Daily Quack" under the byline "Mas Cow." Written and illustrated by Carl Wessler, this 1943 satire blends wartime propaganda with whimsical caricature, while John Walworth's sharp cover art captures the story's biting humor.
Goopie decides Soupie needs a rigorous health cure to perk him up, subjecting the reluctant character to cold showers, rope-jumping, vitamin pills, and sleeping on hard floors—while Goopie himself enjoys hearty meals and comfort. As the cure progresses, Soupie grows stronger while Goopie grows soft, setting the stage for an ironic twist when the two finally square off in a boxing match.
In a whimsical 1943 tale from Ha Ha Comics #2, Dennis Drake dreams of being drafted—only to wake up relieved it was all a fantasy. But when he reads a wild cartoon in the "Daily Quack" about Adolf Goose plotting to "Exterminate Ducks" and Bears twisting Geese's necks—complete with a story by "Mas Cow" featuring a Stalin caricature—he decides the dream might be closer to reality than he thought.
