Four Color #59
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Old Mother Goose" is a whimsical 1944 tale from Walt Kelly, who wrote, drew, and inked this charming Four Color comic. In a simple yet imaginative story, a little girl attempts to bring to life a boy and a girl made from the classic nursery rhyme ingredients—only to find the recipe doesn’t quite work as expected. The cover, also by Kelly, captures the playful spirit of the tale in his distinctive, expressive style.
Jo tries to bring her imaginary friends to life—crafting a girl from "sugar and spice and all things nice," and a boy from "scissors and snails and puppy dogs' tails"—but despite her best efforts, neither comes to life. The story captures her quiet determination and the whimsy of childhood wonder, all in five playful pages.
