Approved Comics #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Flatfoot Fledgling" kicks off with a delightfully absurd premise: Rudy, inspired by a stray dentistry manual, declares himself a dentist, while a ravenous hobo disembarks a freight train and begins stuffing an impossible number of farm animals—Dinky, two goslings, a hen, a turkey, and a full-grown jackass—into a sack meant for a meal. With art by Jim Tyer, the story unfolds in a surreal, deadpan tone that’s as memorable as the cover by Tom Morrison, whose bold lines capture the scene’s chaotic charm.
In "Flatfoot Fledgling," Dinky enters a Long Distance Flying Contest with big dreams—only to face a harsh reality when he realizes he can’t fly. Downcast, he’s easily swayed by a cunning weasel who claims to be a flying instructor, offering guidance that might just lift him off the ground.
When Rudy, a self-proclaimed dentist after reading a stray book on tooth extraction, tries to practice on a passing hobo, the man’s sudden hunger leads him to stash a bizarre collection of farm animals—Dinky, two goslings, a hen, a turkey, and a full-grown jackass—inside a sack meant for a meal. The chaos unfolds in a delightfully absurd 1954 tale from Jim Tyer, where the line between dental work and dinner blurs in the most unexpected way.
In "Rival Romeos," two rival suitors, Gandy and Sourpuss, go head-to-head in a sweetly competitive courtship, each trying to win the heart of the same girl with increasingly generous peppermint offerings—now it's Gandy's turn to up the ante.
Dinky the duck gets a magical wish from the Flower Fairy to sing like a songbird, but his newfound voice draws the wrong kind of attention—when a wolf hears him, he’s snatched away and forced to perform at a traveling carnival.
