“Buying Toys”

In "Buying Toys," a 1959 Four Color comic, Oswald finds himself far from his usual beat when he’s sent to cover a baseball team’s spring training—only to be chased out by a string of mishaps. After stumbling upon a witch who teaches him an un-hittable "witch-pitch," Oswald gets a chance to pitch for the team, but the boys soon suspect something’s off. Jack Bradbury handles both the interior art and the cover, bringing his distinctive style to this whimsical, offbeat tale of mischief and magic in the world of sports.
