Many thanks to Meine Kleine Fabrik for introducing me to Marvel's most random and mysterious recurring character, Steve Gerber's "Elf With A Gun".
Sounds like the next big Hollywood high-concept action film to me: "Babe, I'm visualizing Danny DeVito or Vern Troyer."

One Got Fat is a macabre little educational film from 1963 about bicycle safety, narrated by Edward Everett Horton, featuring kids sporting wire tails and wearing these absolutely terrifying Papier-mâché monkey masks with souless black pits instead of eyes, that were surely designed in the very pit of Hell by Satan himself. One by one, the unfortunate chimp-children are dispatched in a variety of gruesome ways for violating bicycle safety rules.
Gratuitous double-entendre dialogue: "Slim knew that his big sack would be hard to handle."
