Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact #17 [383]

In "Part 9: Daniel - Lions Would Not Harm Him...", a clever twist on a classic tale unfolds as Ali uses his dog’s bone as a makeshift pulley to reach a high plum—only to find himself lifted up when the dog takes off with the bone. Written, drawn, and inked by Marvin Townsend, this installment of the Treasure Chest series blends whimsy and ingenuity in a story that’s as playful as it is resourceful. The cover, a striking homage to the 18th-century painter Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin, captures the moment with a quiet, timeless charm.
