Today in Comics History, April 1, 1992: A harmless little April Fool's prank goes horribly, horribly wrong

So, what could possibly happen when Jules and Verne Brown decide to play a little gentle April Fool's Day trick on their dad, "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski "Doc" Emmett Brown, who just so happens to have invented the time machine and knows a thing or two about thinking fourth dimensionally, huh? Pretty innocent, right? What's the worst that could happen?

Well, this is what happened. Are we all laughing now, Jules and Verne? Is it oh so funny that the fabric of time and space got pretty much destroyed, huh? Is it just a harmless prank for you to enjoy anymore? Are you not entertained?



Why don't they look? Why don't they look?!?

So, if the next time machine I stop happens to be yours...don't tell me that you were speeding a little, only breaking the law a little...only doing something a little bit wrong, save that for somebody else, brother! Because I've seen too many "little bit" follies, and they end up a little bit dead! Now I'm gonna grab me a little bit of lunch!
