More fun with More Fun!
Aquaman has one of his strangest adventures, on an unknown little island far away from civilization:
The self-appointed castaway is happy with his new home, with penguins his only companions. Aquaman thinks about paying the man a visit, but he decides to respect the man's extreme attempt at solitude. He also wonders whether anyone back home misses him.
The answer to that question, Aquaman, is yes--three people, two men and a woman, miss their Uncle Archibald very much!
But not for any familial reasons--no, being the man's only relatives, they are determined to get their hands on his money. Planning to retrieve him and put him in an asylum (after all, who but a crazy person would do such a thing?), they board a ship and head for the lonely island.
Once they arrive, Uncle Archibald knows exactly why they're there:

Dear Lord, do I love that last panel on page four--Aquaman and a bunch of penguins kicking butt. Priceless.
Aquaman wakes up in the cave, trapped in there with some penguins. Trying to figure a way out, one the penguins shows Aquaman it stole one of the trio's revolvers(!). Aquaman grabs the cartridges inside, and uses the gun powder to set off an explosion, freeing them all.
By this time, the trio have hopped back on their ship, with their uncle. The seas are rough, so the ship drops anchor. Aquaman sees that as a chance to keep them from going any further:
...yes, a woman who is willing to sail across the world to kidnap and then forcibly incarcerate her uncle, and pull a gun on a superhero, will collapse when encountering a sea-mouse. You know how women are!
Definitely one of Aquaman's goofiest stories, from the improbable plot (even by 40s Aquaman standards) to shots of penguins kicking ass. Life was simpler back then...

But thanks to Uncle Archibald's time among them, the penguins learned a valuable lesson...
Love the 'get Aquaman while he sneezes' gag - if only Black Manta thought of that!
These More Fun snaps are becoming a regular part of my Sunday arvo.
Nice post!
