Wood Chips 1

I'm now going to begin a series of Wally Wood sketches and fragments. We'll start with this sketch that looks like the attack of the 50-foot Triffid. Yes, celery stalks at midnight! In truth, it's the Spinach Monster from "The Mad Horror Primer" in  Mad #49 (September 1959), as seen in the finished panel on the right. Click to enlarge. Curiously, the creature in the sketch looks scarier, and his leg looks stronger in the sketch.
