Up Your Nose and Out Your Ear,3 of 4
The 'Cock Robin' story is reprinted from a comic Andru and Esposito did for a comic they did called GET LOST, a MAD imitation comic they did in the fifties. Most humor titles were adjectives while theirs was an interjection. I'm not sure if there's any significance to that.

Much of the material here is at least a generation old and therefore sometimes has racist and sexist standards we wouldn't conform to today. I try, but can't always do a line-item veto. Remember, if something has stereotypes it's posted in spite of them and not because of them. You're not wrong to be offended, think of it like a friend you like hanging out with 95% of the time but once in a while they embarrass you. My own attitude is to move forward.
Many of the images I posted between 2011-2013 were disappeared by the image bank I was using then but I still have most of the scans and am bringing them back slowly. Be patient.
