Big Shot #88
In Big Shot #88 (1948), a whirlwind of wacky genius crashes into Doc’s lab, where eccentric inventor Slap Happy unveils a parade of delightfully absurd contraptions—from a pie stretcher to a bowling ball that guarantees a perfect game, and even a pistol designed so you can’t shoot anyone. Tired of the chaos, Doc finally snaps and introduces Slap Happy to McFiddle’s own invention: the bum’s rush! Written and illustrated by Boody Rogers, this delightfully silly issue is a rare showcase of the creator’s unique comedic flair, with a cover by Boody Rogers that captures the zany energy of the story.
