[Arabic _ English] The motto on the seal of the Emirate of Deryabar in the 1947 movie _Sinbad the Sailor._ According to the script, it reads _In the eighth month, the winds are willing_ - is that correct? "في قمر الثمين النائم ألفين" ؟؟؟ I am just guessing . does that mean anything or is it just gibberish? It's either a different language or just gibberish. The font is usually associated with farsi/urdu. Can be used for Arabic but very rare. thanks for the clearer image. Can't quite make it all out but what I can see the given translation is roughly accurate? It's more like "In moon the eighth the breeze accepts" But it may not be Arabic, rather something close enough that it's roughly understandable. That or a really bad translation into Arabic (They started with what they wanted it to say in English and translated it into Arabic)

Archie O'Toole was an American comic-strip written and drawn by Will Eisner, debuting as a two-page feature in Feature Funnies in July 1938, before moving to Smash Comics, another Quality anthology title, a year later.

History of 1930's platinum and golden age comics http://www.terryhoknes.com/comichistory1933.htm

The Steranko History of Comics https://archive.org/stream/historycomics11/History_comics_2_djvu.txt

By February 1941, Eisner had left the feature, which gradually transitioned to a one-page format. His successors (which included George Tuska) kept the pen name "Bud Thomas," but most of the continuity elements were discarded in favor of self-contained gag strips.

Premise

Archie O'Toole was a native of the island dictatorship of Pyromania, located three thousand miles off the Atlantic coast of the U.S. Employed as a itinerant artist, he was thrown in jail after painting a portrait of an old man with a beard (the mercurial dictator of Pyromania, Gil O. Teen, having banned beards.) Gil O. Teen then commanded Archie to paint his own portrait, but the artist tricked the dictator into falling off a balcony, an embarrassment which (under the laws of Pyromania) meant his deposition. In gratitude, O'Toole was declared the new king of Pyromania.

The strip's first year in Feature Funnies consisted of O'Toole fending off attempts by Gil O. Teen to depose him and retake power, followed by a trip to America to secure a loan to address Pyromania's perennial budget shortfall, where the king was greeted as a celebrity and made a lot of money endorsing products. He also acquired a romantic interest in the angelic Suzy Sweet, the stepdaughter of a New York mobster who had tried to waylay him on the way home. The stories consisted of two pages and had a certain amount of continuity, including attempts to introduce recurring characters such as a upper-class British bodyguard or an offensively stereotyped black "Finkelstein's monster," that however rarely saw more than a few appearances. The plots included encounters with mobsters, visits by foreign dignitaries, and encounters with the supernatural, such as the ghosts haunting the Pyromanian royal castle (who left in a huff after O'Toole tried to charge them rent.)

In August 1939, the comic was moved to Quality's new title, Smash Comics, and the storytelling became less ambitious; Suzy Sweet was dropped without explanation after the penultimate Feature Funnies issue, while Gill O. Teen only outlasted her by one more. The royal advisers became one-off characters, and the title was gradually scaled down to a single page, with less narrative content and more of a single-joke structure. Archie O'Toole' was nonetheless popular enough to run for another nine years, in nearly seventy consecutive issues; the art however departed considerably from Eisner's original style, and there were several instances of unsubtly recycled plots.

Character Description

Tall, gangly, and red-headed, O'Toole was kind, eccentric, and fond of bad novelty music, in particular a tune called "Flat Foot Floogie" ("with a floy floy ya de da yo de do").
