Publication history

Distributed by William Randolph Hearst's King Features Syndicate, "Hejji" began publication on April 7, 1935, as a Sunday strip.Cite web|last=Don Markstein's Toonopedia|title=Hejji|url=http://www.toonopedia.com/hejji.htm] A comic strip with an unusually brief publication period, it was cancelled before the year's end.

ynopsis

The title character was a traveler who, in the first strip, entered the strange land of Baako, which had whales swimming in water-filled volcano craters and twin goats sharing a single beard. Hejji inadvertently plucks the sacred Trumpet Flower and is promptly arrested.

Instances and characters from "Hejji" such as the goats with connected beards would reappear in later Dr. Seuss work.
