Last month over at THOIA we saw some silly slapstick adventures involving a rather incompetant Sherlock Holmes type character (HERE!), --and now it's time to do it again HERE at AEET with an even more idiotic dick! Enter Rick O'Shea, the most brain dead detective to ever never solve a mystery, as he attempts to apprehend the outrageous Dick Tracy-esque criminal mastermind, --Firetop! Featuring freakishly madcap Munson Paddock art that perfectly matches the bat shit bonkers writing, the only thing here truly keeping all of this insanity grounded is Firetop's lovely moll doll partner, Crepe Suzette, (who seems to have slinked her way on over into our story from a slightly more serious syndicated Sunday strip!) Very funny stuff, and despite the final panel blurb promising more Rick 'n Firetop fun, it doesn't appear that either one ever made another comic book appearance other than this, sadly enough... from the Comic Magazine Distributors 1946 one-shot issue of Slapstick Comics #1.
