☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn Tip Top Comics #174, Ernie Bushmiller delivers another delightfully absurd slice of everyday chaos, where a simple fish becomes a point of contention and a pantry key sparks a mad scramble. From fishing for coins in a grate to a bathtub full of dirty dishes, the antics unfold with Sluggo the loafer at the center, while Fritzi’s return from vacation adds fresh fuel to the madness. The art by Bushmiller is as sharp and playful as ever, capturing every exaggerated moment with his signature wit.
In this lighthearted 1952 tale from Tip Top Comics #174, Nancy, Sluggo, and Fritzi Ritz dive into a series of absurd misadventures that turn the ordinary into the hilariously chaotic—whether it’s fishing for money in a grate, wrestling with a carpet sweeper at the art museum, or sharing a fish after Fritzi’s return from vacation. With Sluggo the loafer in his usual spot and a bathtub full of dirty dishes adding to the mess, the trio’s antics are as unpredictable as they are funny.
A curious mix of history and oddities unfolds in this brief, fact-driven piece, weaving together Peter of Blois’s medieval musings, the rare hydrophane opal, and the enduring mystery of San Francisco’s artesian well after the 1906 quake. From the mist of Victoria Falls to the cryptic phrase “Let George Do It,” and even a nod to Louis XII of France and Sir Thomas Gresham, the story dances across time and place with an air of quiet wonder.
