Contains 4 stories
The Inner Cell-fff!
7 pp · humor

A poet's grip on reality fractures after losing his job at a greeting card company—his nightmares of dark revenge begin bleeding into waking life, and he can't tell anymore where his inner self ends and the real world begins. When a young woman briefly offers him hope and companionship, jealousy reignites his darkest impulses, leading to a midnight confrontation that forces him to finally face what he's become. Written with wicked humor, "The Inner Cell-fff!" is a darkly comic descent into madness that asks just how thin the line really is between the person you are and the person you fear you might be.

One Way Ticket
5 pp · humor

Colonel Whopper regales a gathering of ladies with an outrageous tale of a fishing expedition that takes him to the frozen Arctic, where he encounters a colossal sea monster frozen in an iceberg. What begins as a lecture illustrated with slides spirals into a wild adventure involving an unexpected friendship, a shipwreck rescue, and chaos that leaves the Colonel wondering if he's really escaped the ordeal at all. It's a tall tale told with all the bluster and mishaps you'd expect from a 1950s humor comic—complete with talking creatures, wrestling matches, and audiences who can't get enough.

Just Plain Bull
7 pp · humor

Meet Just Plain Bull, a well-meaning but hopelessly meddlesome barber who can't help poking his nose into everyone else's business—whether they want him to or not. When Bull hears that his neighbors the Joneses are on the outs, he rushes over to patch things up, only to find himself caught in a web of misunderstandings that spirals hilariously out of control. This 1957 humor tale from Madhouse #1 proves that good intentions and nosiness make for a comedy of errors that even Bull himself can't charm his way out of.

The Diary of Zoo Zoo Gay Gone
7 pp · humor

Zoo Zoo Gay Gone gets swept up in the glamorous—and exhausting—world of a movie production when a flamboyant French director casts her in his film, complete with costumes, choreography, and romantic scenes that spiral into absolute chaos. As leading men compete for her affections both on set and off, Zoo Zoo finds herself caught between the director's vision, would-be suitors, and her own wits in this madcap 1957 romp that proves the life of a starlet is anything but the breeze it appears to be.
