Plop! 1973 #3 - 5.0 - $6.00

Three page introduction designed to help you figure what PLOP means.

Our first story takes place in a dry-cleaning store.

A freelance writer gets a rejection notice.

Now a story about a millionaire who wanted to live forever... and succeeded! But then he discovered that eternal life can bring eternal problems.

A story about the kind of person you see on the street every day... a sweet little old lady who moonlights as a witch.

Nothing can go PLOP at the beach.
