In Swing with Scooter #7 (1967), a 12-cent comic from DC’s whimsical 1960s lineup, the mischievous Scooter and his pals find themselves caught in a bizarre twist when a mad scientist transfers their minds into a troupe of vegetable people. Written by Barbara Friedlander and Jack Miller, with art by Joe Orlando and inks by Mike Esposito, the story takes a delightfully surreal turn as the scientist, having achieved his mind-transplant goal, is utterly stumped on what to do next—leading to a surprising reversal. The cover, also by Orlando and Esposito, captures the absurd charm of the tale.
