Notes: Two characters discover that their world is slowly being wiped out... by the comic book artist drawing them -- but even he isn't safe. The comic artist is probably a self portrait of Bill Walton (with pipe) and on his desk are a note saying: "Call Stan Lee for script" and a small ink bottle marked 'midnight oil'. - Ger A.

Notes: A southern aristocrat is keeping his sister locked up in his house. She has a suitor, but her brother scares him away by telling him she is mad. The twist...? He comes back with a doctor to take her away to be cured. This was just before the comic code was introduced, but it wouldn't have caused any problems afterwards, either. - Ger A.
