Credits

Colorist(s): ?
Letterer(s): ?
Subject Matter
Genres: fantasy, humorous
Character(s): Casper the Friendly Ghost; The Ghostly Trio [Fatso; Fusso; Lazo]; Aunt Naggie; mission control crew; Saturnians
First Line: Casper's always fussing around the house!
Synopsis: Casper's Aunt Naggie, an ornery old spinster neat freak of a ghost, comes to visit, prompting The Ghostly Trio to get out while the ghostly getting is good. Nothing seems to please Aunt Naggie, who refuses to stay in Casper and the Trio's house calling it a dump. She finds fault with any other accommodation Casper presents to her, deciding to stay in a neat, new "lighthouse" she saw on the way over - which is, in reality, an unmanned rocket set to probe the planet Saturn. Casper and Aunt Naggie blast off, as the Saturnians eagerly anticipate the approaching spacecraft.

Disclose Notes: Part 2 of 2.

A rare instance of a two-part Casper lead story, rather than the usual three-parters.

GOOD BIT:
Aunt Naggie is nothing if not a dedicated neat freak, as seen in her reaction to the ghosts' accidental destination:

CASPER: "SATURN! That's where we're heading, Aunt Naggie!"
AUNT NAGGIE: "That RING looks messy!"
