“Shoe-boat”

In "Shoe-boat," a whimsical adventure unfolds when Mrs. Doe’s fawn falls ill, prompting the Little People to brave the perilous journey to the Groons’ cave in search of yop-yop leaves to brew a healing medicine. Written by Paul S. Newman and brought to life with playful precision by Don Gunn—both on art and inks, including the cover—this 1953 Four Color comic blends gentle peril with imaginative worldbuilding in a story that’s as charming as it is quietly daring.
