First Line:
Charley, I hope you can break that ice jam!
Synopsis:
Charley blasts the ice jam; tells the kids about the pet, Tom Thumb, of the wife of the boss of the "T Bar T" ranch: a galumphing crossbreed Great Dane & Wolfhound who stole things. Drought was bad, the wash a trickle. Dan was going to blast a hole for water to fill up: when his cows came off the range they could drink. The dynamite was missing. He was angry. TT came in, a box of blasting caps in his mouth. Eek! Later, with binoculars, Dan saw TT drop the box off the bluff, 50 feet, on the dynamite where he'd dropped it, too. The blast toppled the bluff into the wash, damming the water.
Reprinting
Reprint Notes:
Du Bois identifiers: Nature; Animals.
The Chuckwagon Charley feature, created by and written by Du Bois through to Roy Rogers and Trigger #108 (script sent April 12, 1956), began in Animal Comics. The strip, animal stories told to the kids Pat and Pete (who migrated to the Trigger feature during the time it replaced the Chuckwagon Charley feature, then returned to Charley when the Chuckwagon Charley feature returned; for his Hi-Yo Silver series, Du Bois used the same device of a grown-up telling the animal story about Silver to a boy and girl) never deviated under Du Bois's pen from formula: stories told about animals.
When this issue hit the stands January 19, 1956, illustrator Raymond Thayer had been dead two months, having died November 15, 1955. Since Du Bois submitted this script May 23, 1955, this job and the remaining Chuckwagon Charley episodes Thayer illustrated were among the last works of his career.
