Cockeyed Wondering - Part The Second

Let's do some Sunday Morning Funnies continuing from yesterday. Oh, sure - we might have a PM post time, but i've been up for less than an hour, so it's still Sunday Morning for me.

And i'm still fairly groggy - first cuppa didn't do it at all. So let's keep it simple. Here's the next three adventures of Super Duck from his time in Jolly Jingles before getting his own title.

Things changed quite a bit when the Cockeyed Wonder graduated to his own title. We'll take a look at that soon, but i suspect we'll meander along the way.

Cockeyed Wondering - Part The First

One of these days i'll get back to prepping each day's post and getting it into the queue the day before. At least, in theory. But currently it's part of my wake-up-get-functional routine.

Some time between about 4am and noon, depending on when i found my bed, i rise and hit the bathroom. Then it's kitchen cleaning to get my body woken and going and blog posting to get the brain woke up. Sometimes this plan even works. And sometimes you get these ramblings as the gears grind.

I've made mention a few times of Super Duck, and it even seems some have been waiting for more than mere mention. It's Saturday and i'm feeling like toons. I think it's time.

I noted that Super Duck had a longer run than most of the super critters in comics with almost 100 issues. But before his getting his own title, the duck started out in the first issue of Jolly Jingles (#10 because - say it loud enough for Snell to hear us up there - COMICS!)

Super Duck appeared in all seven issues of Jolly Jingles, graduating to his own title when the book ended. We'll look at his solo title later; this weekend, let's stick to those early episodes. We'll do his first three in this post, so let's get going. The cover above and the cover for #3 were drawn by Dave Higgins, who may have drawn today's comics. Sadly, we just don't know for certain.

Next time, another trio of Duck Tales before we venture onward.
