“The Unsolid Man”

In "The Unsolid Man," a 1958 issue of World of Fantasy, a cereal manufacturer finds himself entangled in an alien scheme when he agrees to secretly dose his product with a pacifying chemical, believing he's helping humanity join a galactic federation. With the aliens' return date approaching and the entire planet now unusually calm, he begins to question whether their promise was a ruse—or if he’s the only one who still sees the danger. Art by Harry Lazarus and Stan Goldberg brings the eerie, dreamlike tone to life, while Bill Everett’s cover captures the unsettling mystery of the story.

Aliens convince a cereal manufacturer to dope his product with a chemical that will make humans unaggressive and then tell him they will return in one year with a fleet to welcome them into the galactic federation. The man doesn't eat any of his own cereal, so when the fleet shows up, he wonders if the aliens haven't tricked him in order to allow an Earth conquest of docile humans?
