Welome to Philbert Desanex’ 100,000th Dream!



…by Gilbert Shelton, most famous for the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

Philbert is a lesser character in that universe, but this is a stand-alone story about an average schlub with an extremely active unconscious.

I have part of this somewhere in my house – galley sheets from my university newspaper, which were abandoned in the desk I occupied as a reporter for the university newspaper in the early 1980s. I just obtained a UK printing of it, so finally got to read the entire story as I was scanning it.

Onwards!

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

This is so great.

Continuing The Private Life Of Popeye:


:china:

"POPEYE" LIFE STORY REPLETE WITH THRILLS AS HARDY YOUNGSTER PROVES METAL

CHAPTER TWO


Poor little Popeye was an orphan, due to the fact that both of his parents were dead and also to the sad fact that he had neither pa nor ma. His clothing consisted mainly of old flour sacks, cigar coupons and old blades from a straight razor. Then Whaler Joe picked up the luckless lad on the docks and brought him a new pipe and a fascinating straw skimmer with handsome radio antennae by which marooned dandruff could send SOS calls.

Popeye at the age of six began to fulfill his earlier promise. None of the bullies around the docks needed to lose their first teeth with the aid of a door-knob. Popeye relieved them of useless bicuspids with his famous left-right to the jaw. He was a great factor for good in discouraging crap-shooting among the rough dock children. He did this by invariably making eighteen straight passes when he got the dice.

But times grew hard and Whaler Joe didn't catch many whales that year. Popeye had to sell his dice to the junk man for the lead in them. One day little Popeye came home through the snow with old Whaler Joe's evening slug of white mule, guarding the precious burden against the elements with his frost-bitten fifty-pounds boyish biceps. Then he fared forth again a-whaling with a bent pin and a spool of thread.

The whales noticed the tot's meager fishing equipment when he really should have come prepared with a net, and thrashed about impudently giving, in a word, the horse-laugh to Popeye. Like a flash the quick-tempered youngster called to the deep-sea upstarts:

"Blow me down, you----!"

There was immediately quiet like a pall around Popeye's frail bobbing craft. The largest of the whales, deeply offended, climbed into the boat and gave Popeye a jet of water straight on the chin. The boy grinned, feeling his strength for the first time, and delivered a fast one-two to the place where the whale's chin might have been. The big beast staggered and fell limply to the bottom of the boat.

Popeye brought home a nice string of whales that night.

(Easy's note: For what it's worth, The Private Life Of Popeye was the only mention of Whaler Joe until Randy pulled him back into canon for Popeye's Cartoon Club.)

(e: for lots of errors. That's what I get for retyping this in Notepad.)

So I guess it's secretly a real shooter and not a drill? What would be the point of saying it's a drill over the PA then? It's not like the shooter will hear it and say, "Oh, good, it's just a drill, they must not be onto me." Meanwhile the students hearing it will think it's not real and be less inclined to take this poo poo seriously. Is it so they don't text their parents? Because if they're maybe about to die, let them text their loving parents!
