So...  yesterday may have left some folks just a tad discombobulated. The short chapter of Mal-Ig from George Metzger was from the middle of the tale, which certainly didn't help. I have only a few issues of the Gothic Blimp Works, making the tale hard to track. All the more so since it is sometimes indexed as Mal-18 or other variants. (Mal-18 is a separate but related tale)

Luckily, it was collected a couple years later in Witzend, the legendary profan magazine from Wally Wood. (No, that wasn't missing a 'e')

Here's the original tale, plus a new page added for the ending...

There. Now i feel better.
Didn't want to leave you all feeling confused.

Perhaps Not Too Abysmal

I'm feeling visual...
