With a tight, monthly deadline, limited time to fine-tune ideas, not surprising that many of the plots and concepts were ill-considered, bizarre, utterly ridiculous or extremely bad science. kav, Larryw7 and Brock 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Somewhere in a Congo Bill story, a fugitive flees into the jungle. Bill saves the day by having THE JUNGLE POLICE SEAL ALL THE EXITS.

gadzukes Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) This is SO unbelievably lame. This Giant gets a stomach ache from eating Green Apples. The military decides to try and shoot a huge antacid pill into his mouth from an airplane but the Giant won't open his mouth. So this boy comes up with an idea to have an "Actor disguised as a Beatnik" talk to the Giant and make him laugh. Then the boy shoots the pill into his mouth.

There's plenty of it, just like Knightboat in The Simpsons. Doesn't matter if it's at sea, an inlet, canal or fjord, there's always criminal activity.
