“Clem Never Does Anything Big!”

In "Clem Never Does Anything Big!", a quiet boy from Hog Hollow becomes an unlikely ambassador when two alien visitors test Earth’s inhabitants for threat level—only to be overwhelmed by Kentucky Lightning, skunks, and a swarm of angry hornets. Written by Shane O'Shea and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Ogden Whitney, this 1961 adventure blends sci-fi curiosity with small-town charm. The cover by Kurt Schaffenberger captures the moment of alien bewilderment with a perfect mix of humor and wonder.

A pair of aliens, driven from other planets because they cannot tolerate other worlds' inhabitants, approach the Earth. They land in a place called Hog Hollow, and capture young Clem, putting him through a series of tests to see if the people of the planet are dangerous. Clem believes the aliens to be revenue men from the government...the aliens, however, soon discover "Kentucky Lightning," skunks, and angry hornets, which drives them back into space, warning their home planet never to attempt an invasion of this planet.
