Jingle Jangle Comics #27

In the faraway city of old Bag-yer-dad, the impoverished Sultan Aladdin-Ike stumbles upon a magical brass-buttoned lamp-post that grants wishes—but not always in the way he expects. When he carelessly wishes to be far away from his shabby neighborhood, he's whisked off to the castle of a wish-granting Genie, only to discover that the Genie himself has been searching for that very lamp-post to make his own dream come true. Aladdin-Ike teams up with an unlikely traveling companion to track down the missing lamp-post and set things right.

Aunty Spry finds herself stranded in the peculiar town of Nowhere, located in the bewildering State of Confusion, where nothing makes sense and everyone treats her with suspicion. As she stumbles through a series of increasingly bizarre encounters—dodging mysterious men, narrowly escaping a wooden jail, and uncovering strange goings-on around town—she struggles to understand what's really happening in this topsy-turvy place. What Aunty discovers about her strange surroundings will finally make sense of all the confusion.

Hortense takes fifteen cents to the movies but sneaks an extra dime for ice cream—a choice that nags at her conscience when she's accused of theft. What starts as a day at the picture show becomes a wild dream adventure where she and a friend set a trap to catch real movie-theater robbers and stumble into a mystery of stage money and hidden loot. When Hortense wakes up in her theater seat, the line between what was real and what was the film playing gets delightfully blurry, though she's relieved to find her dime still in hand.
