It's time to take a Perilous Journey to the Twilight Zone, courtesy of this reasonable facsimile of Rod Serling. You can tell this comic wasn't written by Rod himself because, among many other obvious things, there's tons of empty space in this panel that would've been filled with evocative, elegant prose, or at least something other than #ffff00. Unless all that blank yellow stuff is meant to represent a snowstorm, in which case I hope they find shelter immediately!


Remember kids, when skiing through a blinding (?) snowstorm, always remember to keep bread crumbs in your boots to leave a marker so you can find your way back. You'll have enough trouble climbing back up a hill you just sped down on skis, without having to worry about losing your way. Unless of course your markers are swept away by wind and snow, but what are the odds of that happening in a snowstorm?


This comic is a regular-sized floppy, but something gives me the impression it was originally published in digest form. Just a hunch. Also, this layout is giving "Goofus and Gallant in Hilights for Kids". It's also giving "we have to pad this out to 10 pages, ohhh nooooo, there's no way this story can be stretched that far".


Nothing worse than falling through a hole in the snow and finding yourself at the Children of the Corn winter skate party.


Oh, I dunno, I think it might be the way to greet THIS particular stranger. Preferably with some rocks or ice chunks packed into the snowballs.


It's a good thing Larry has this little girl there to tell him to go AWAY from the flying snowballs, otherwise he'd be stuck there all day.


This isn't the first time Larry's wandered off with a little girl he doesn't know, but it IS the first time she was the one doing the leading! Hope they find their way to a normal-sized building soon.

Seriously, what is going on here.


Our top story tonight: Dumdum in yellow snowsuit fires wildly at stuffed bear in a Santa's Village, somehow manages to miss. Film at 11.


Why do I get the feeling "where did that door come from" was meant to be an editor's note, not a line of dialogue.


Oh, I know where they are, they're in one of those fancy Scandinavian ice hotels. Nice!


The icy walls are just like mirrors, which famously cast shadows rather than reflect images.


I just knew it. Larry's been sitting there in this ice hotel room wishing and hoping this little girl would turn into an 8-foot-tall adult woman.


That's right Larry, lean in for a kiss with this person who was a ten-year-old a moment ago, not creepy at all. Luckily this is a Whitman comic so no actual action will happen, in any way, shape or form.


OK but you were outside just a few minutes ago and you were fine though?


Yeah, uh, I can never be a child again either. That's kind of how it works.


BAH! LARRY SMASH STUPID MIRROR! LARRY HATE MIRROR FOR SOME REASON


Yeah girl, same! Again, that's how it works!


Not pictured: tons of ice. Also not pictured: Tons of snow.


WAIT LARRY STOP YOU'LL CAUSE A CAVE-IN oh wait actually, yeah, keep digging Larry.


Meanwhile, after much debate, Ron has decided to go ahead and try to pull Larry out of the hole.


They have a schedule to keep-- remember that schedule they were talking about at the very beginning of the story? No? Anyway quit talking about how a bunch of children are down there, possibly crushed by tons of snow and ice, we've gotta keep this breakneck pace going!

I'm including this panel to show you the lengths people will go to in order to make a 2 page story (at best) into 10 pages.


Oh did we forget to mention THEY'RE ON ANOTHER PLANET??? Yeah, one of those twist endings The Twilight Zone was famous for, if The Twilight Zone had been written by people with severe CTE.


So they think planets further from the sun are just like Earth, only snowier? With phantom children who randomly turn into adults in tight sheath dresses?

And yeah it's still going.


YEP STILL GOING! HALF A PAGE LEFT, FILL IT WITH SOMETHING OR OTHER


As usual Rod sums up the theme of the story in his closing monologue, which is apparently: Schedules are important!
