“Easy 3’s” — a 1959 confection from the Ed-U-Card people — offers a somewhat startling design.  A variety of familiar cartoon characters are depicted in black and white, trisected, against bright color backgrounds.  Once you assemble three of a kind, you can piece together your cartoon pal, much as Isis did Osiris.

The selection of characters is a mixed bag from various King Features strips: Jiggs, Beetle Bailey, Felix, Henry, Dagwood, Wimpy, and Olive Oyl.

    I can assemble three-of-a-kind…. but the horse-rider puzzle is a whole different story.

    Henry looks nice on yellow.
