A whimsical tale unfolds in "The Calico Fisherman and the Left-Handed Clay-Pipe," a charming oddity from Jingle Jangle Comics #1, where a fisherman’s peculiar catch leads to a mystery as tangled as his nets. Written and illustrated entirely by George Carlson, the story blends quirky humor and gentle absurdity, set against the backdrop of a small coastal town. The cover, also by Carlson, captures the tale’s playful spirit with a vivid, hand-drawn splash of the fisherman’s curious encounter.

A calico fisherman yearns for his lost left-handed clay-pipe, and when his son ventures into the world to seek his fortune, the boy's journey leads him to unexpected companions and peculiar encounters. Through George Carlson's delightfully absurd tale, father and son pursue their separate paths across a landscape of surreal obstacles, quirky characters, and impossible logic—all converging toward a reunion that just might restore what was lost.

The Friendly Fox

A young fox learns he's got hunting season to worry about, so his father sets out to teach him the survival skills he'll need—but Junior's got his own ideas about friendship and kindness in the forest. When a dangerous chase puts both father and son in the path of real hounds, the boy's unconventional approach just might save the day.

Mr. Lamb the Lion Hearted
10 pp · Children

When Mr. Lamb's own shadow springs to life as his protector, a cowardly little fellow finds himself swept into an adventure far beyond his wildest dreams—tangling with an evil swami, a magical island, and a wishing elephant whose power may be his only ticket home. Created by Douglas, this wild 1943 romp bounces Mr. Lamb from perils at sea to encounters with talking trees and giant snakes, all while his shadow fades in and out at the most inconvenient moments. A charming blend of slapstick, exotic danger, and the kind of scrappy persistence that turns a timid character into an unlikely hero.

Benny Bear's Vacation
8 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Benny Bear heads north to visit his polar bear cousins at the North Pole, eager to experience ice and snow for the first time—but his unfamiliar ways quickly land him in trouble when the local kids invite him to join their wintery games. From slipping on ice to tangling with a walrus, Benny's vacation becomes a wild series of mishaps that test whether this country cousin can keep up with life at the top of the world.
