Here's the second half of yesterday's tale -

  1. Quaint, innocent fun. Nothing wrong with that. The writer had a laid-back sense of pacing, but it never drags, and that is beautiful art. There was a time when people would have thought of something like this as much as comics as any superhero, and not to knock superheroes but we've definitely lost something as we've lost diversity. Anyway, thanks for posting it.

  2. The big thing that sets Treasure Chest Of Fun & Fact apart from other comics from religious publishing houses, for me at least, is that almost sweet sense of fun. They never forgot that the primary objective is to entertain, lest everything else is for naught.

    Hopefully we'll get to the third story considerably quicker than we did this one. We'll likely be diving into some of their other stories, too.
    And definitely more of Frank Borth. He did a lot of great work for them and other publishers.
    One of my faves for TCoF&F is the Draw-Along With Frank Borth cover near the top of this post
