plop!

Plop! - "The New Magazine of Weird Humor!" was a comic book published by DC Comics in the mid 1970s. It falls into the horror / humor anthology genre. There were 24 issues in all and the series ran from Sep/Oct 1973 to Nov/Dec 1976. Issues were hosted by three ghoulish characters with biblical names: Cain, Abel and Eve. An issue would typically contain a story told by each of the characters, each bidding to outdo the others in fiendishness. An illustrative tale involved a gourmet diner whose love for frogs' legs leads to a predictable amphibian revenge: he is left without lower limbs and is doomed to negotiate the world on a trolley. Basil Wolverton provided a distinctive cover for most of the issues, always a freak of some kind. Sergio Aragones, perhaps better known for his work in Mad Magazine, drew many of the more cartoonish tales and most of the surrounding banter between the three hosts.
