In "The Gruesome Twosome," a botched password system in Pappy’s bootleg operation sends a gang of bank robbers on a wild detour—filling their tank with liquor instead of gas—and sets off a chain of hilarious mishaps when revenuers accidentally down a full tank of gasoline. Written by Ed Goggin and brought to life with energetic art by Harry Sahle, this 1943 Zip Comics classic delivers wartime mischief with a side of slapstick, all under Sahle’s sharp cover pencils and inks.

When Pappy Applejack’s new password system for his bootleg liquor goes hilariously awry, a gang of bank robbers ends up filling their getaway car with alcohol instead of gas—only to be foiled by a pair of unsuspecting revenuers who mistake gasoline for their favorite drink. With Slappy, Happy, and Rusty Dan, the Postal Man, caught in the middle of the chaos, one thing’s clear: in this case, the password was the punchline.
