| Please, trust me :-) If you want to read only one comic on this day, it should be "Buster Bruin, the lazy bear" (from page 13). |
|
| I can see why you like it, but the gem, for me is 'S'no use and the seven dopes'
'Welcome to the house of the seven dopes! I'm repulsive.' 'I'm nauseating!' 'I'm disgusting' 'I'm inedible.' ' I'm incredible! 'I'm Just a dope!'
'Hello Prince Charming. Where you going with that beast? And I don't mean the horse!'
My kind of laughs! |

| Synopsis | Two scientists create a liquid distillate of lightning, thunder, concentrated sun atoms, and a teaspoon of sugar. Later, a mouse dunks his cheese in the liquid before eating it. He discovers he can fly and has super-strength. He decides to dedicate his powers to a war on crime -- and cats! Using his super-vision, the mouse locates a costume shop and creates his Supermouse uniform. He turns on the radio and learns that a wealthy young heiress named Minerva Churchmouse has been kidnapped and is being held for $400,000,000.17. Supermouse ultimately captures the gang and recovers the money. |
