Jingle Jangle Comics #39
In "The Yegg and I," a whimsical 1949 gem from Jingle Jangle Comics #39, a resourceful carpenter and a surprisingly musical walrus team up in a tale of odd inventions and unexpected rewards. Written and illustrated by George Carlson—handling every aspect from pencils to lettering—this quirky adventure sees the carpenter transform a broken three-tune radio into a magical navigation tool, guiding the king from a stranded flat cart. The cover by George Carlson captures the story’s playful charm, making this a standout entry in a 10-cent comic from 1949.
