“Who Put the "Pop" in Poppycock?”

In "Who Put the 'Pop' in Poppycock?", the chaotic energy of Ambush Bug reaches new heights when the Interferer hijacks his suit, turning it into a government agent-absorbing anomaly—leaving the lead agent unexpectedly transformed into Little Jim of the E.L.F. Written by Keith Giffen and Robert Loren Fleming, with Giffen handling art and Bob Oksner on inks, this 1986 DC oddity blends surreal humor and cosmic mischief. The cover by Keith Giffen and Bob Oksner captures the absurdity perfectly.
