Returning to an absence of borders, this little two-scener seemed hilarious to me at the time, with a mere mortal blasting his way through space using some unexplained means of propulsion which I can only deduce must be flatulence. His destination is the moon, but of course he reaches it by crashing into it and dying. Like Shakespearean tragedy, the mere mortal comics featured many "post-mortem" punchlines.
Also notice I added a little bit of insult to injury, with the traditional "KABOOM" or "BLAM" of a comic-book explosion being replaced with simply "POOF", reminiscent of the Wyle E. Coyote falling from a great height and creating a tiny dust-cloud of doom.
