Dinky Duck #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Golden West," the ever-resourceful Heckle and Jeckle attempt to strike it rich with their latest invention: a Magic Telegraph Box that promises to "telegraph PEOPLE instead of MESSAGES." Penciled and inked by Jim Tyer, this 1955 St. John classic follows the duo’s chaotic scheme as their get-rich-quick plan spirals into comedic disaster—complete with a trip to China and a mountain of chop suey. The cover, by Tom Morrison, captures the zany energy of the tale, all in a 10-cent comic that’s as clever as it is silly.
In "The Golden West," Dinky Duck’s boastful friend Rudy spins wild tales of his past as a frontier lawman, setting the stage for an unexpected adventure when Dinky gets an invitation to visit his Uncle Mallard, a rancher in the Old West. Bringing Rudy along, Dinky soon finds himself in a dusty town where the real test of Rudy’s legend begins—can he keep up with the persona he’s built, or will the truth come knocking?
In "The Urge to Travel," the ever-entrepreneurial Heckle and Jeckle try to cash in on wanderlust by inventing a Magic Telegraph Box that sends people, not messages—only to discover that the fastest way to travel isn’t always the wisest. Their quick scheme brings them fame and fortune, but the cracks in their invention soon come to light, leaving them back where they started.
In "His Off Day," Jo and Rudy find themselves in a quiet moment at the circus, where Rudy, inspired by a book on escape artistry, attempts to impress with a rope escape—only to quickly realize the book didn’t cover the part about actually getting free.
