Jingle Jangle Comics #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology collection featuring multiple stories: "The Fashionable Fireman" follows a fireman dealing with Gup and his Gremlins; "Bingo's Frolics in Fairyland Land" presents Bingo's adventures in a magical realm; "King Hokum of Pretzleburg" depicts the king searching for his missing bass drum during the grand annual weekly parade, with the Pie-Face Prince eventually locating it; and "Gabby Goose" shows the bird character engaged in various comic misadventures involving other animal characters and confrontations with human figures. The stories emphasize slapstick humor and whimsical situations typical of 1943 comic book entertainment.
A Fashionable Fireman searches for his missing carnival badge through a wonderfully weird parade of mishaps—encountering a soft-boiled collar button, a wooden musical fellow, and a mysterious blond visitor whose true identity may hold the key to his prize. George Carlson spins this delightfully nonsensical tale of pursuit and mistaken identity across eight pages of pure, unfiltered imagination, where the journey matters far more than making sense.
Bingo and his companion Glum venture into Fairy Tale Land to solve a mystery: one of Old King Cole's fiddlers has vanished, and the kingdom won't be merry again until he's found. With help from the Mean Magician's cryptic riddle and the Hermit of Strawberry Hill's guidance, the pair journey beyond the Land of Story Books in search of the missing musician. Will they uncover where the fiddler has gone and restore happiness to the kingdom?
Gabby Goose learns the hard way that loose lips sink ships when he brags about fifty dollars to the wrong crowd—a pair of con artists who quickly separate him from his rent money using an old shell game hustle. After losing everything to their scheme, Gabby discovers that keeping your mouth shut might've saved him from becoming their mark in the first place.
