Decent Comics: "There Goes the Neighborhood!" by Bridwell, Newton, and Hunt

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! It's time for another SHAZAM! mini-epic, this one from World's Finest #260 (September 1979). "There Goes the Neighborhood!" is another short charmer by writer E. Nelson Bridwell, who had a knack to write Silver Age style whimsy, while keeping things modern enough to satisfy, er, modern fans. The more realistic art of penciler Don Newton and inker Dave Hunt (who just passed on March 5th at age 74, RIP) help give a solid look to what, in other, less sensible hands, could have been a bunch of really silly-looking characters (okay, some of them are pretty silly, still, but less silly than they could have been otherwise). Fun is fun, and I wonder how today's readers would react to this fun little throwaway tale...
