In this 1973 satire from The Comic Reader #97, Lucy takes on the role of the Crabby Goddess in a surreal Peanuts parody, running a booth with the ominous slogan “The Facist Dictator is [IN]” — all while suggesting to Charlie Brown that a Holocaust might be the solution to his problems. Written, drawn, and lettered by Carl Gafford, the issue’s stark, satirical tone is matched by Al Milgrom’s sharp cover art, capturing the absurdity with biting precision.
