You always thought Goldilocks was a sweet little girl, but in this twisted retelling from Whack's satirical pages, she's revealed as something far more sinister—a troublemaker determined to wreak havoc on the Bear family's home. When the bears lock their door to keep her out, Goldilocks simply smashes her way in and sets a nasty surprise, leading to chaos when the unsuspecting family returns home. It's a wicked spin on a classic fairy tale that'll make you reconsider everything you thought you knew about a storybook favorite.

Lovely Love Comics
6 pp · Romance, Satire-Parody

Ethlyn Clabberlip, a newspaper advice columnist, finds herself caught up in a chaotic romance when she becomes entangled with a ferry boat captain named Billy after a daring stunt goes wildly wrong. When Billy loses his job trying to save her from a collision at sea, she seizes the moment to propose a life together—offering him a future of adventure on her scow instead of the steady pension he'd sacrificed. It's a screwball tale of love, desperation, and second chances told with the over-the-top humor that defines this 1953 satire.
