The Adventures of Bob Hope #72

In "Deep Dive Dope: Part 1," Bob Hope—ever the reluctant showman—finds himself on a bizarre errand after narrowly avoiding being fired as a beauty contest promoter, tasked with buying a pad to jot down notes. His journey leads him to a beach where he stumbles upon a beatnik poet lost in a rhythm of words, setting the stage for a surreal, offbeat adventure. Written and illustrated by Bob Oksner, with cover art by Bob Oksner, this 1961 DC comic captures a quirky moment in time with a 12-cent price tag and a distinctly oddball charm.
