Friday Fun PUZZLE-FUN COMICS "Alec in FumbleLand"

While this short-lived (two issue) title featured (what else) puzzles...
...it also featured this non-puzzle comedy comic strip, based loosely on Alice in Wonderland, in both issues!
Obvious question...who pays the King?
Isn't he the boss of the whole country?
That point aside, the never-reprinted tale from George W Dougherty Publishing's Puzzle-Fun Comics #1 (1946) by sadly-neglected writer/artist George Carlson is beautifully-done, playing cleverly on the concepts of Lewis Carroll's books.
Carlson, who created and produced the amazing Jingle Jangle Tales for Eastern Color, was a book and slick magazine cartoonist illustrator who did comic books "on the side".
His only comic book work was Jingle Jangle Comics, this title, and a few one-pagers for Eastern Comics!
99% of his comic book output has never been reprinted.
Once we can assemble it, we're going to do a blogathon of his astounding work!
