☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Overgrown Bumble-Bee and the Tuneless Pop-Cornet," Hortense sets out to dig a flower garden, only to find her efforts accompanied by a whimsical chorus of talking animals, plants, and even the sun and a rain cloud—each with their own opinions on her project. With art by David Tendlar, this 1944 gem from Jingle Jangle Comics blends gentle humor and surreal charm in a dreamlike sequence that’s as playful as it is unexpected.
An overgrown bumble-bee with wanderlust dreams leaves the honey-sweet kingdom with a prized sugar coupon, hoping one day to trade it for the perfect music to cure his troubles. His journey leads him to a tuneless pop-cornet player, a treacherous summons, and a series of wild misadventures across land and sea as he struggles to make his way home. Created by George Carlson, this eight-page fantasy is a delightfully nonsensical romp full of corny wordplay and slapstick charm.
Bingo and Glum answer a desperate wish to rescue Hansel and Gretel from a wicked witch who plans to turn them into gingerbread, leading the pair through the treacherous trials of the Perilous Forest where monsters hide among the trees. With the help of magical cloud-glasses and a ferocious eagle, the two heroes race against time to reach the witch's hut before their intended victims meet a darker fate. This classic fairytale gets a lively twist when Bingo and Glum arrive to even the odds in a tale that'll remind you why these old stories still grab us.
In "null," Hortense sets out to dig a flower garden, only to find her quiet afternoon stirred by whimsical whispers—plants, animals, a rain cloud, and even the sun seem to have voices of their own, each offering help or playful resistance. Written with gentle charm and brought to life by the warm, expressive art of the era, the story captures a child’s imagination unfolding in the quiet magic of a summer day.
