“Cap'n Avery's Secret!”
In "Cap'n Avery's Secret!", Sheldon Mayer crafts a delightfully offbeat tale from 1937, where the Jibbets’ Thanksgiving dinner takes an unexpected turn when an armed robber bursts in through the window—only to be invited to eat. With Mayer handling writing, art, and inking, this early comic delivers charm and quiet wit in a story that’s as much about manners as it is about mayhem.
