Artie Lindstrom has done it again, discovered the invention that will change the world, and this time it involves fifty thousand batches of cornflakes dumped from the sky.

Jack Sharkey's 1962 story spins genial comic SF from a mad-inventor pal whose gadgets always work, with disastrous results. Funny, breezy golden-age SF. Read it for a light, laugh-out-loud tale of an unstoppable tinkerer and the friend who keeps getting sucked into his schemes.
