The Three Stooges #5

1954-06-01 · 35 pages

In "Alotta the Bull," Benedict Bogus’s wild dream of swindling land from 17th-century Indians sends him tumbling into the past, where the Three Stooges—playing double-duty as Indian real estate agents and Dutch jewelers—turn the tables on him with their trademark chaos. Written, drawn, and inked by Norman Maurer, this 1954 St. John comic blends slapstick and historical farce as Bogus’s scheme unravels in the wilderness, with the Stooges leading him on a perilous cross-country journey that nearly lands them in a fire. The cover by Norman Maurer captures the absurdity perfectly, a 10-cent slice of vintage humor from a bygone era.
