"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.

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.
