Molly the Popsicle (written by Herbie Meyer)
Yes, this really is as adorable as it looks. Herbie, just in case you can’t read that scan, is the 5 year old son of Christoph, and they join together to tell the story of the life and death of a popsicle. Molly is loving life in the freezer until she is taken out and left on the kitchen counter… and completely forgotten. What follows is a slow melting of Molly, with the finale of a picture actually drawn by Herbie. Or Christoph has significantly less artistic ability than I had given him credit for, but I don’t think that’s the case. Christoph finally gave in and got a website (but still no e-mail), so at least now you can check out his stuff more thoroughly online. Granted, this may not be a literary acheivement of any staggering significance, but it is a cute and funny story, especially if you have kids around who still like to read comics. $1.50
