I've already combed through a site or two like this one -

https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=192061

- but that didn't narrow it down by much.

I DO know the issue I'm thinking of would have been published pre-1977. Maybe even in the 1960s. (Trouble is, it folded in 1978, after 14 years!)

What I remember is that the monster kids (brother and sister) are nearly kidnapped from their house by an inarticulate hairy(?) monster, maybe with a cyclops-style eye, but he's thwarted by Mama's broom, which is alive. At one point, the brother says "
yeah? Well, our Giant King Crab has come to the rescue! Go get him, fella!" The
crab traps the creature in the swimming pool. In the last panel, the creature is used to pull the kids around the pool on their water skis - I think. Any ideas

Never heard of it. But the comic does sound like something a much
younger me would have enjoyed reading.

Sounds like a decent DMT-trip.

Found it - it was #20, from March 1973.
