Herbie #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Big Fat Mess at the Okay Corral!", Herbie’s dad struggles with feeling inadequate after failing to help his son lose weight—until President Johnson and Vice President Humphrey step in, pulling him into a bizarre diplomatic crisis. Written by Shane O'Shea and illustrated by Ogden Whitney, this 1991 A-Plus Comics gem sees Herbie’s father appointed Ambassador to the far-flung nation of Hongadingia, where he’s thrust into a war between the Hissians and the Pigturtles. The cover by Ogden Whitney captures the absurdity perfectly—just as Herbie shrinks after a Hissian bite and his father swells from a Pigturtle encounter, chaos is guaranteed.
In "Clear the Road for Skinny!", Herbie’s dad feels defeated after failing to help his son lose weight—until Herbie pulls a full-scale diplomatic intervention. With a little help from President Johnson and Vice President Humphrey, the whole world suddenly knows Herbie, from Nelson Rockefeller to Queen Elizabeth, and Herbie’s dad is suddenly named Ambassador to the far-off nation of Hongadingia. His mission? End a war between the Hissians and the Pigturtles. But when a bite from each side flips their physiques—Herbie slimming down, his father gaining weight—the real test of diplomacy has just begun.
