Friday Fun & CoronaVirus Comics "How I Conquered a Terrible Plague"

Here's a combination I never thought we'd do...
...but if you can't occasionally laugh at a problem (even one as terrifying as coronavirus), all you can do is cry!
At the end of World War II, writer/artist Dick Briefer took the horror strip Monster of Frankenstein and revamped it into a humor series that predated TV's The Munsters by two decades!
(My personal favorite from this period has Frankie meeting Boris Karloff surrogate "Boris Karload"!)
This particular tale from Prize's Frankenstein #5 (1946) was part of a book-length story about Frankie's attempt to interact with others and solve their problems.
Other chapters involved pet dinosaurs, genies, and ghosts!
BTW, a "chocolate frappe" is a whipped drink with chocolate syrup, cream/ half-and-half, sugar, and ice.
Unlike a chocolate egg-cream, it has no seltzer/soda.
They were part of the standard assortment of beverages "soda jerks" would make fresh at luncheonettes and pharmacy lunch counters from the early 1900s to the early 1970s.
