Thank you for the upload, Yoc! Whew, I know it's sort of a 'kiddie" comic; but wow- that first story started and just petered out into ... nothing. There was no culmination, no ending. It just switched off onto a completely different tangent with no resolution. Maybe, because it was geared to younger readers, it just went over my head completely!

Remember that these "stories" were cobbled from a DAILY newspaper comic strip, only small portions of which were originally intended to form continuing sequences, SOME of which might be loosely be considered "stories".  And these 5 comic books formed only a small portion of the 12 -13 years of short daily strips.  So, it's not surprising that some of these comic book stories are choppy, or seem out-of-joint.  The original, daily joke format was forced, kicking and screaming into the comic book format.  So, it's actually kind of remarkable that the publishers actually made 5 reasonably decent comic books out of it.  I'm a comic book story fan much more than a newspaper comic, and especially tiny daily strip fan.  So, having liked Syd Hoff's light styled humour, I'm glad these 5 comic books were made (despite their story formation flaws).
