In "Pass a Piece of Pizza, Please!", Herbie teams up with his eccentric neighbor, Professor Flipdome, on a wild trip to the center of the Earth in the professor’s Squirm-Worm, dodging detours through Hades and uncovering a bizarre truth: every person on the surface has a fiery double deep below. With a little help from a fiery duplicate of his teacher, Dr. Plumduffle, Herbie sets out to turn the tables on the class bully, Butch Nelson. Written by Shane O'Shea and brought to life with expressive art by Ogden Whitney, with lettering by Ed Hamilton, this 1966 adventure features a cover by Kurt Schaffenberger.

In this delightfully absurd 1966 satire, Herbie’s wild idea sends the Grim Reaper’s unlikely emissary—Dracula—down to Earth as a goodwill ambassador. After a string of awkward misfires with humans and a blood bank that’s less than welcoming, Dracula discovers his true craving: pizza—much to the dismay of his staff, who still swear by bagels. Only the legendary Fat Fury stands in his way.
