Adventures in Comic-Boxing: More Horror Than Meets the Eye?

Check out the cover of THE JETSONS #7 (Charlton Comics, Cover Date: November, 1971)...


Okay, so the portable foodaracacycle was on the fritz and George took his best stab at fixing it. 

Who among us would not expect this post-modern miracle of future life to furiously fling its foodstuffs after George's tinkering?  

But look closely and you'll see that there's something much more horrific going on... 


As rendered by reliable Ray Dirgo, George is actually being SUCKED INTO THE MACHINE... perhaps to be devoured by it...


...Or, at the very least (shudder!) added to the menu for someone to order as an alternative dining option!  

Charlton used to have a tag-line that said: "Charlton Comics gives you more!" ...In this case, I'd say Charlton and Ray Dirgo gave us (...and poor George in particular) far more than meets the eye!
