Story title: "Why Big Brothers Leave Home" (V)
Cover Date: March 1937
By: Sheldon Mayer
Here we go! Final one! Let's do this!
So, in this one Scribbly and Beelzebub (That's what I'm calling the little brother for now), are playing together in the snow.
Beelzebub asks his brother to build him a snow fort, and he says yes! Pretty commendable if you ask me, that he still wants to be nice to him after all that happened. So he builds a pretty decent fort:
But just when you thought that some fraternal love was starting to grow on Beelzebub's tiny, shriveled-up heart, he asks Scribbly to enter the fort.
Dude! It's a trap! Don't do it!
Alas, the fort comes crumbling down, leaving Scribbly buried and confused.
I swear, the Tsk Tsk is by far the worst part of the character, and that's a lot. He kind of reminds me of Manny from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, if you guys ever read that (same asshole little brother trope dialed up to a hundred). In retrospect, there was something kinda wrong with Greg, but Manny was a full-blown psycho. Rodrick was really the only normal one in the family. Don't get me wrong, he was still an asshole, but I mean... He was a teenager, so nothing really out of place there.
And that's it! Read this here, blah blah whatever. Let's see the ratings!
Quality/Enjoyment: 1/5
Just some more unnecessarily mean badness (and when Scribbly was trying to be a good big bro despite it too!), not much more to say.
Historical/Cultural/Narrative Significance: 1/5
I'm gonna pause the DCRO for a little while and hope the new series is added while I'm gone. Meanwhile, let's start the CMRO! (We'll be reading only about five entries for now tho). Some of you may be wondering if I'm starting with Marvel Comics #1 or Fantastic Four #1. Well, the answer is neither, I hope you like Dave Dean because I surely don't! Anyway, we'll be reading the expanded one, obviously. For now, thanks for reading and have a nice rest of your day!
