Return To The Dream Castle

Let's dive right in to the second half of Jane At Dream Castle from Stan Schendel and August Froehlich. Note that the last stories come from Tom Mix Commandos instead of Tom Mix Comics. The War came to the TM Bar Ranch, and even seeped into dreams...

Alas - letters or no, Jane never got back to sleep in the comic pages.

Worldbeater & Unggh?

A brief divergence whilst the brain reboots...

Do ya know Worldbeater and Unngh (and later in the run, JoBlo, the Martian who learned to speak English by listening to radio commercials)? I'll forego giving you the set-up just now - it's laid out in most every splash page below.

Originally written and drawn by Fred Morgan, the fifth tale was drawn by Maurice del Bourgo, and then August Froehlich took over art chores on the strip. (Fred Morgan continued writing while also drawing other strips like Air Male and Flying Fist & Bingo. (Don't ya love those names?))

Usually when i'm doing one of the features, i only use the splash panels. But we're going to go with full pages today, simply because the bottom after the splash often recaps the weirdness ongoing in the series-

Some Odd is more odd than others, y'know?
