Interesting television-program tie-in with good art. The Chicago-based show began in 1950, and an early episode can be seen here:

This episode has puppets and drawn artwork.
Curious reference in the comic to watching this show "if you live within reach of television's coaxial cable."

Never heard of Panhandle Pete before so I looked him up. Found an episode of the 1950 kiddie show, which (amazingly enough) turned out to be the very one that this comic was adapted from. Crazy!
