Jimmy and His Magic Patch was a comic strip in the British comic The Beano which began in 1944. It focused on a boy named Jimmy, who had a magic patch on the seat of his trousers that transported him to wherever he wished to go. The story was reprinted in Dandy Beano: 50 Golden Years in 1988, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the two comics. It has also appeared in subsequent sequels to the book, and in Classics from the Comics.

“I sing a heros head, large eye
And bearded bronze, but not a man,
Although I patch him as I can
And reach through him almost to man.”

That you havent heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?”

“Oh, what a catastrophe for man when he cut himself off from the rhythm of the year, from his unison with the sun and the earth. Oh, what a catastrophe, what a maiming of love when it was a personal, merely personal feeling, taken away from the rising and the setting of the sun, and cut off from the magic connection of the solstice and the equinox!”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
