Basil Wolverton comic strip

Basil Wolverton comic strip Small comic book strip, original illustration The four-panel strip tells a bizarre story about the "ancient molemen of Mars": Panel 1: The molemen stick their heads out of the ground every morning at 8 A.M. Panel 2: A creature called a "flying razor blade" sores over at 8:01 A.M. Panel 3: It neatly beheads the molemen, whose necks then serve as chimneys for other underground Martians. Panel 4: The resulting smog causes all Martians to float in their atmosphere, which saves them money on shoes and corn treatments.
