New Funnies #82
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Iceboat Boo-Boos," Mr. Twee Deedle shrinks Dicky, Dolly, and Mickey for a wild ride on Donald Dragonfly, soaring to the top of a windmill where they’re captured by the whimsically tyrannical King Goozoo. Though his idea of torture—chained in candy, feasting on sweets, and bouncing on a river of rubber—sounds delightfully absurd, someone’s cry for help sends the whole crew scrambling to investigate. Written and illustrated by Justin Gruelle, this 1943 adventure from Dell’s New Funnies #82 is a charmingly surreal romp, with the artist also handling inks and lettering, and the Western Publishing Production Shop providing the colors. The cover by Justin Gruelle captures the story’s playful spirit.

Mr. Twee Deedle shrinks Dicky, Dolly, and Mickey and takes them for a ride on Donald Dragonfly. They fly to the top of a windmill, where they are captured by a giant and taken to King Goozoo. As the story puts it: "King Goozoo, being in an especially fiendish mood, had thought up some terrible tortures to inflict on Twee Deedle, the children, and Mickey". Though "torture" to King Goozoo consists of "chaining" them with chocolate and peppermint candy, dinner and deserts of their choice, sliding down bannisters, and bouncing on a river of rubber. Someone calls for help, and all investigate.
