“Plop Meets Superman, Part 1”

DC's self-proclaimed "Magazine of Weird Humor" delivers another dose of gleeful strangeness with Plop! #7 from October 1974. The cover, penciled and inked by Basil Wolverton, features Byron Bigbrain III — a grumpy, fully ambulatory human brain complete with tiny legs, pince-nez glasses, and a miniature cane — standing against a vivid pink backdrop tiled with frantic cartoon vignettes. The caption explains that Byron's brain outgrew his skull shortly after birth, leaving him with no choice but to "stand still and think" in a perpetual state of amazement — absurd, unsettling, and utterly on-brand for this wonderfully odd corner of the DC line.
