The Funnies #24
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Explanations," a 1938 Dell comic gem, Professor Twitchel’s experiment with time pills takes a bizarre turn when he slips them into Captain Colorful’s coffee—only to accidentally drink some himself. When Scribbly stumbles upon the sleeping trio, curiosity gets the better of him, and he takes a sip too, plunging into an unexpected slumber. Written and illustrated by Sheldon Mayer, this early adventure blends whimsy and mystery in a story that’s as clever as it is quietly surreal. The cover by Sheldon Mayer captures the moment with a touch of classic charm.
Scribbly Jibbet wanders the woods, still reeling from his decision to run away, when he stumbles upon a strange scene: Professor Twitchel, chasing after Captain Colorful, insists he has time pills capable of sending someone into the past.
In a delightfully absurd twist of mistaken science, Professor Twitchel’s time pills send Captain Colorful into a deep sleep—only for Twitchel himself to drink the coffee, convinced he’s about to journey through time. When Scribbly Jibbet stumbles upon the trio, he takes a sip of the coffee and joins them in slumber, setting off a chain of comically unintended consequences.
