One of the better fantasticomics now extant in the daily papers is the story of our old friends Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. They are really having some adventures that make Brick Bradford and Don Winslow, etc., look like pikers. But the best part is that there is an attempt at scientific explanation of phenomena encountered, or else it switches to deliberate tongue-in-cheek burlesque of some of the "science" comix. I think I like the latter phase better. 'Tis drawn by Dwig, who drew them of old, and also one of my favorites, "Footprints In The Sands Of Time." Remember? It is distributed thru the Ledger Syndicate, and I advise youse fans to cop a gander. YOU'LL like it. Right now the boys are in the middle of a partially active volcano in the Pacific somewhere, and have just finished cleaning up a gang of cannibals who had the highly dishonerable intentions of serving up Huck en casserole as the piece de resistance at their annual Chamer of Commerce banquet...With the aid of the Wonderful Duck, a marvelous mechanism that wlks, flies, swims, submarines it beneath the briny and shoots size AAA lightning bolts at malefactors, and Yawhoo, a friendly gorilla only slightly smaller than King Kong, the cannibals were soon hers de combat.
