In "The Ballad of Greenly Sleeve," a 1952 comic from Register and Tribune Syndicate, Jules Feiffer spins a quirky, lyrical tale with a folksy refrain—“hey, down derry down”—as the narrator recounts the unlikely romance between the timid Mister Carrion and the skeptical Greenly Sleeve. Al Wenzel’s expressive artwork brings the story’s oddball charm to life, capturing both the quiet desperation of unrequited affection and the whimsical tone of a tale that’s as much about perception as it is about love.
