I’m not sure why there is so much fuss over Marvel’s Civil War issue 1 winning the Harvey Award for Best Single Issue or Story.
After all, it may have been a pretty rotten comic, but it was the one that owed most to Harvey Kurtzman’s own work.
Wait, what do you mean, Civil War wasn’t supposed to be a joke?

Would a "duck weave" be what Daffy wore as a toupée?
