In a single, unforgettable panel, a man signals a left turn in his Volkswagen—only to have his hand vanish as a lion’s head suddenly appears through the bars of a passing circus truck. The cover by Howard Shoemaker complements the story’s eerie, off-kilter tone.
In "Left Turn and Circus," a man signals a left turn in his Volkswagen, only to have his hand vanish when a passing circus truck reveals a lion's head through its bars—no explanation, just a sudden, surreal twist. The story’s quiet absurdity lingers long after the page ends, a brief but unforgettable moment of humor and unease.
