| Notes | On inside front back cover in black, white and red. Writer credit per Du Bois Account Books. Du Bois, a fundamentalist lay preacher, tells here a most basic animal fable of a child seized by fear that, sans sermon or evangelism, manages to echo both Jesus's parable of the prodigal son who returns to the fold contrite and repentant, and Jesus's likening himself to a mother hen who longs to gather her chicks under her wing. |

A quill-prick prompts stalk-growth, lifting Wiggily aloft to feed pie to crying Baby Birdies. Prickly exits, toadstool-stalk recedes, stranding Wiggily aloft. Mrs Bird returns from grocer's, tows Wiggily off in her balloon-risen basket, joined by Buggsey. Bad Foxes hurl rocks. Sending Mrs Bird away to safety, Wiggily and Buggsey return fire with cherry pies. How now to land? A pin-prick by Buggsey, the balloon deflates, landing Wiggily right back home. |

| Notes | Copyright 1944 Howard R. Garis. Gaylord Du Bois writer credit per Gaylord Du Bois, page 4, Gaylord Du Bois's Account Books Sorted by Title compiled from the original account books by Randall W. Scott (Michigan State University Libraries 1985) 203 leaves ; 28 cm. -- Photocopy of computer printout. -- Call no.: PN6727.D77 A2S35 1985, which states: "Uncle Wiggly. 12p. For Animal Comics #12. Paid Jan. 21, 1944." Hubbell R. McBride art credit per Michael Barrier, page 71, "Funnybooks" (UCPress 2015), which states, "The 'Uncle Wiggly' stories were drawn by Hubbell R. McBride, who was, like his Western colleagues Arthur Jameson and George Kerr, a veteran illustrator---in McBride's case, of Liberty magazine's covers." The narrative sequences: Begin / Episode / Interlude / Episode / Interlude / Episode / End. Du Bois themes are: Friendship (making friends by being a friend through doing acts of mercy or charity); and Brains Over Brawn (overcome threats and obstacles by using wits and getting help from friends, and Providence). Each episode follows a single pattern. • 1) Wiggily does an act of mercy, or, charity. • 2) A predicament grows from that act. • 3) The friend made by the act of kindness helps deliver Wiggily from the predicament. |
