Last page consisting of nothing but speech balloons on black background (due to a very sudden darkness of day), bringing the story to a pointless halt. One could wonder if Kelly had deadline trouble and decided for the fast solution on this one ... or one could argue that he preceded Monty Python's Flying Circus in inventing the pointless joke.
