Your pal Mike needs to recharge his batteries something fierce, so it’s gonna be Low Content Mode on the site through the end of the year. But it’s Low Content Mode with Swamp Thing, so hopefully that’ll be okay.

…the Brat Finks were already there, beating Stanley and said monster by one issue:


Okay, that panel actually is from #95, and not their first appearance, but I was collecting SAHM stories, not Brat Finks stories, so I don’t have #94 in the Vast Mikester Comic Archives.

…Mostly I’m just posting this here for the sheer 1960s-ness of the title “Brat Finks.” Also, for that one Brat Fink wielding the axe:
