Oddball 1000!

Every Monday through Friday, my longtime chum Scott Shaw! (he spells it with the "!") posts some bizarre funnybook on his Oddball Columns page along with suitably bizarre commentary. This Friday, he will showcase his 1000th Oddball Comic and I, for one, am eager to know what it will be. Could it possibly be odder than this issue of a 1950 comic devoted to the man who was then becoming known as Mr. Television? (By the way, I've never actually read an issue of Uncle Milty but I'd be delighted to find out that its writer stayed true to the spirit of Milton Berle by dressing in drag while he wrote it, stealing all his jokes from other comics and sneaking in occasional references to his genitalia.) Could the comic Scott has selected as #1000 possibly be oddballer — that's a new word I just made up — than an issue of Manuel Pacifico, Tuna Fisherman? Than Frank Luther's Silly Pilly Comics? Than Slick Chick or The Story of Johnny Surge or even Woody Woodpecker in Chevrolet Wonderland? Scott hasn't told me what he's picked but I have a hunch. And if it's what I think it is, it's a fitting choice. Let's both find out Friday and in the meantime, drop by his site and see all that had led up to this moment.
