"Apple and Oranges" is a delightfully whimsical time-travel adventure from Four Color #530 (1954), where Professor X, Beany, and Cecil set off to find the lost treasure of 17th-century pirate Captain Kidder on the island of Pogo Pogo. When their ship, the Leakin' Lena, veers off course into the mysterious waters of Latitude Q, they’re flung back in time—leading to a bizarre encounter with the pirate himself and a strange exchange involving a Miner Bird and Beany’s calendar watch. Jack Bradbury’s expressive art brings the whole zany journey to life, capturing both the absurdity and charm of this early comic tale.
