The desert has never looked this chaotic — Bob Hope's comic misadventures head to Egypt in this 1950 DC gem, where the cover by Owen Fitzgerald drops "America's Favorite Funnyman" astride a camel with a glamorous woman in Cleopatra-style headdress perched on his back, while a fez-wearing vendor hawks "Seasick Pills" nearby amid sandy dunes and ancient monuments. Fifty-two big pages of comedy await, and even the grinning camel seems in on the joke. A wonderfully breezy snapshot of early 1950s humor comics at their most playful.
