Not an actual adaptation of a Huckleberry Hound television cartoon, but an original story with gag-elements taken or otherwise adapted from such Hound cartoons as “Dragon-Slayer Huck” (1958), “Tricky Trapper” (1958), “Somebody’s Lion” (1959), and “Knight School” (1959). At times, just as they would in a cartoon, both Huck and the dragon address the audience (readers). Possible script or lettering error: In the first line (transcribed above) the dragon is described as a "fire-eating dragon". Should it have been "fire-breathing dragon"?
