Peter Wheat News #21
In this whimsical 1949 installment from Peter Wheat News #21, the Wicked Wizard—fleeing the Goblins, Peter, and Sammy—seeks refuge in a cave, only to botch a spell and transform into a bizarre half-pig, half-wizard hybrid. Forced to share a meal with Peter, Sammy, Dragonel, and the Goblins, he must endure the feast before Dragonel will reveal the magic words to undo the mishap. Written, drawn, and inked by Walt Kelly, this free comic offers a delightfully absurd tale of magical missteps and unlikely dinner companions.
