I’m surprised that this wasn’t reprinted in 1995 to cash in on Disney’s Pocahontas.
DC Thomson could have printed one strip per week in the pages of Mandy & Judy. If they didn’t want to do that, they could have reprinted all the strips in a small paperback book. They’d be laughing all the way to the bank.
I haven’t actually read the story but knowing some other stories printed at the time, I don’t know if this 1958 story would have passed well in 1995.
