A historically important revelation about I.C.A. founder Abel’s involvement in the many assassination attempts on Cuban leader, Fidel Castro, in the 1960′s.
Declassification Notes
From Abel’s Journal, Sept. 23, 1968
“Plastics and gyros, atom splitters and super-computers. It’s almost too much for a man to handle. Give me a plunger of wood and rubber; I’ll clean anything faster with a broom and the sweat beading on my brow than any invented mechanism.”
This excerpt was previously featured in Ben Kurns Documentary about the I.C.A.

Why is Abel wearing a dress? He feels he’s run out of options.
For that matter, why is he in Cuba? He’s been drafted by the CIA to assassinate Fidel Castro.
Abel? Cuba? I thought this was called Eben07; is this even relevant? It seems to be.
Just to clarify: Who is Abel? The founder of the ICA and a curiously ancient ancestor of Eben07.
Uh, a room filled with a group of family photo-ready figures with old fashioned radios for heads, a group who seemst to have not only anticipated Abel’s appearance but also apparently know about him? What gives? You’ll have to wait until next week.
oh man, one of the best pages yet! That panel with the robots is freakin’ awesome!
also the up shot on Abel in panel 1 is mint!
You guys are outstanding, unprecedented, and always brilliant.
I can’t say more.
Kind kind words, friends. Thank you. Thank you very much for reading and commenting week after week!
I’m ready to start the spinoff with those two guards.
Just for the record, as some fans expressed some concern – this is not the end of Operation: Mongoose. We left it numbered to 008 only because that’s where we’re at in # of strips. It’s likely that this series will go on for another 2-4 strips depending on what J.Herman Shepard decides to redact.
Knowing Him, that would be quite a bit, Eben.
And I like the spinoff idea, Dan.
Perhaps a new holiday one-panel comic idea?
Eben, this is really great, fun stuff!
Glad you’re enjoying Operation: Mongoose! Definitely been a lot of work put into this series.
