Stories

Allworth and No Play · 10 pages
Dr. Primly Allworth, self-proclaimed leader of a group dubbed the "Guardians of Morality", leads a Fredric Wertham-like crusade against comic books. But, like many demagogues, there's a profit motive behind his moralistic tirades. In Dr. Allworth's case, he is the author of squeaky-clean and deadly-dull children's books that he pushes while denigrating comic books. Seeking quick cash, an out-of-work Donald temporarily falls-in with Allgood, taking a job as his proofreader, but those champions of the lowly comic book, Huey, Dewey and Louie, give their Unca Donald and the Doc their comeuppance.
