Disclose Notes: This story has sharper-than-usual dialogue (with Cicero showing a healthy amount of sarcasm toward real estate agent Porky’s zealously pushing the sale of the old house to Petunia), animation-style scare takes and reactions, as well as the use of the parody name “Frankincense Monster”, which was used in Warner Bros. cartoons.

Pages: 12
Disclose Notes: Cicero continues the spirited characterization seen in the previous story, suggesting the same writer for both stories. The reactions of the incidental characters to Porky’s inexplicable and uncontrolled flight presage similar reactions by incidental characters to oddball situations in the Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the late-1950s thru mid-1960s – of which Michael Maltese was a primary writer. Maltese would return to this idea in the Augie Doggie cartoon “Whatever Goes Pup” (1959), with Augie inventing the flying formula and testing it on poor old Doggie Daddy.
