On Easter, I was thinking of Cain, Abel and Eve meeting the Easter Bunny in PLOP 5, the June 1974 issue.

PLOP was a very popular title from 1973-1976, and one of DC's bestselling titles. Mostly showcasing Sergio Aragones' talents, and an attempt to re-invent the success of MAD magazine for DC. (DC later forewent any further attempts and just bought and published MAD themselves.)

Plop has its origins in the "Cain's Game Room" and "Abel's Fables" pages in HOUSE OF MYSTERY and HOUSE OF SECRETS. And a longer "The Poster Plague" story in HOUSE OF MYSTERY 202, that got a very enthusiastic reader reaction, that pushed Orlando and others to come up with a PLOP humor series.

PLOP 5 is one of the few comics I can think of that has a story dealing with Easter.



So here's a sampling of the magic that is PLOP. With samplings from several issues by Aragones, Robbins, Wood, and gloriously, Wrightson.
