Coloured Slick Fun #23

In this delightfully absurd 1945 gem from *Coloured Slick Fun #23*, Murgatroyd turns his usual bumbling into a bizarrely effective solution—using a water-filled elephant to clean the street, then igniting a gas breath to weld with. The story’s offbeat charm lies in its deadpan logic and the sheer ridiculousness of the mechanics, all rendered with the cartoonish flair of its era.

In this brisk 1945 adventure from *Coloured Slick Fun #23*, Corky’s mechanical leg proves unexpectedly handy when he uses it to fire a harpoon and rescue two children stranded in a canoe—then springs into action again to save their father from a perilous fate at the hands of a native tribe.
