Tiny Tim Sunday Strip May 28 1939

The story to this point;
Alone on the road in search of his Mother, Tim is picked up by a Scam Medicine Traveling Salesman.
Forced to work selling bottles of the "Medicine" for the unsavory man,they are arrested for fraud and Tim is sent to a Boarding School.
Here he meets the fellow inmate Pudge,a true delinquent, and is put to work in the Laundry.
One day Pudge tricks Tim into escaping with him and they travel to the city together where Tim is introduced to Pudge's evil partner Krimp.
Wanting no part in the crimes the pair commits, Tim tries to leave but is taken hostage by the pair.
After being rescued by the girl as shown in my page, Tim reunites with his mother, has Krimp and Pudge arrested and goes to work for a rich Newspaperman.
So a happy ending....for now!
