Well, now you do. It was published in the Daily Express, and it falls under whatever genre “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” was, only with more of an emphasis on history rather than just mad shit. Although there is plenty of mad shit in history.
This edition is from the 11th August 1979. Click on the image to see a bigger version:
NEXT UP: Something Christmassy!
INT. DAY. SUPERMARKET
THE INCREDIBLE HULK: GRRRRRR! I am incredibly angry
A small old lady walks by. She spots some milk on the shelf behind the Hulk
SMALL OLD LADY: Excuse me…
THE INCREDIBLE HULK: GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! NO MILK FOR YOU. IT IS ALL MINE
The small old lady kicks the Hulk in the shins. He starts weeping and hands over the milk from the shelf
THE INCREDIBLE HULK: *general crying noises and snuffling*
Audience laughter and applause
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I thought this was the funniest thing ever at the age of maybe 5. Full of confidence, I then tried to write a Ronnie Barker style monologue full of wordplay, but completely failed at it due to being a child with no real comedy writing experience. I got about as far as the words “Wagging Wogan”, which I may have cribbed from an actual mid-late 80s Barker sketch about Australia.
