Jingle Jangle Comics #17

In "The Very Horseless Jockey and the Steamed-Up Steam Engine," Captain Tootsie’s unexpected gift—a carrier pigeon—becomes the key to a quiet but clever rescue when Fatso, babysitting for his mom, spots Red the Terror creeping near the house. With a quick message sent via winged messenger, the duo’s quick thinking turns a tense moment into a triumph, all drawn in the bold, expressive style of C. C. Beck and Pete Costanza. The cover, by David Tendlar, captures the moment with a playful, dynamic flair.
