Easter Reading Room EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Humpty Dumpty and the Giant"

You May Ask "How is This Easter-Related?"

Well, Humpty Dumpty's heading to visit the Easter Bunny, so...










Writer-artist Walt (Pogo) Kelly loved to mix-n'-match characters from various unrelated myths, fairy tales and nursery rhymes!
He was already putting them individually in holiday-themed situations for the annual Mother Goose Christmas and Easter comic books, so merging them in those storylines as he did in in Dell's Four Color Comics: Easter with Mother Goose #103 (1946) was a natural progression!
Trivia: While everyone knows the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk, the Easter Bunny and Humpty Dumpty, Reynard the Fox is somewhat more obscure.
He dates back to 10th/11th Century French and German myths, as explained HERE, but was never popular in English-speaking countries.
