Story featuring The Maniaks

Storyline: The Maniaks are "not to be confused with the Beatles, the Monkees, or anyone in his right mind!" Jangle can do sound effects and impressions. Pack Rat is a gadgeteer. Flip is a contortionist. And Silver Shannon is "The Mod Miser", a gold digger. They perform at Palisades Park, mobbed by teenage girls! They run to hide. Meanwhile, "Eggs" Benedict's gang has planned an ambush on the rival gang of "Dutch" Edam at the park. And in stumble the Maniaks, now witnesses. "Rub 'em out!"

Story featuring The Maniaks

Storyline: The Flips run from two gangs. Pack Rat cobbles a popgun and fishhooks to make a grapple to snag the cable car. Flip bounces so much gangsters can't nail him. Pack Rat cobbles an electromagnet to catch bullets. But the band is trapped atop a Ferris wheel. Flip leaps into a pool - and is snagged in a net. Money-mad Silver is worried because his insurance isn't paid up!

Part III: Next on the Menu -- Just Desserts

Story featuring The Maniaks

Storyline: The Maniaks will be dumped in the ocean. Shannon sings a heartbreaking song, "He's just my Bill, a stupid-looking slob" that reduces the mobsters to tears. "I am even more sorry we have to bump you off!" On the pier, Jangle imitates a police squad. Flip flips them onto crooks' heads. Pack Rat improvises lock picks. Shannon kicks tail with concrete go-go boots. And the cops arrive. Jangle hopes "the comic-reading public is groovy over us and we get our own fab mag!" And Shannon starts counting. "Let's see... One million copies at 12 cents each..."
