Coo Coo Comics #33
In "De Squoil In a Tree That Grew Up in Brooklyn," a whimsical 1947 tale from Coo Coo Comics #33, Tuffy’s day takes a surreal turn when a potted plant knocks him out—only to awaken in a world where a tiny, magical being named Weejie claims the plant is alive and has chosen Tuffy as its new guardian. Written, drawn, and inked by Jack Bradbury, with lettering by Melvin Millar, the story blurs reality and imagination in a dreamlike twist that leaves readers questioning what’s real. The cover, by Bob Wickersham, captures the absurd charm of the moment with a striking, exaggerated image of the plant’s sudden growth.
