In "The Boating Lake," the forest’s wood—used to make the pages of Knockout—comes alive, bringing its characters to life in a story that blurs the line between comic and reality. As the other issues vanish back into the trees, one lone comic remains, its fate uncertain. The green-only coloring by an unknown hand adds a haunting, dreamlike tone to this eerie tale from 1971.
