Kirby's high points were magnificent, but let's face it, he had his campy moments too, as illustrated by Egghead (walking in from Dick Tracy?). Maybe because he was cranking out so many books, he sometimes threw a Hail Mary, facing deadlines. (Check out "Mister Doll" in Tales from Suspense #48, Iron Man!)

Egghead: creates device that communicates with ants! Decides to steal money instead of selling the idea, or hiring other ants to steal the Wentworth (whatever they're called) jewels
