Sparkler Comics #8 (56)
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Also - The Princess Oo-La-La," Biltybux and Bombo go head-to-head in a hilariously awkward quest for romance, with Biltybux offering a thousand dollars for every woman Bombo can attract—or even just tolerate. When Bombo’s charm fails, he’s reluctantly recruited to lift the spirits of a group of chorus girls, setting up a lighthearted, misfit-driven comedy. The story, drawn with crisp energy by Bernard Dibble, captures the playful absurdity of 1946’s comic strip sensibility.
In this 1946 Sparkler Comics gem, Biltybux and Bombo go head-to-head in a ridiculous bet to win a girlfriend, only to both come up short. When Biltybux offers Bombo a thousand dollars for every woman he dates—or even just hangs around with—Bombo’s misadventures take a turn when he’s enlisted to lift the spirits of a group of chorus girls.
In "null," Sluggo stumbles upon a wallet containing a thousand-dollar bill and sets out to return it to its owner. When he finally does, he’s handed a mere quarter as thanks—only to discover the coin is actually a rare treasure worth five hundred dollars.
