A rough first sketch, based on the Japanese folktales of Momotarō; 'Momo' means 'peach' and Tarō is a very common Japanese name, common enough that it is sometimes used to mean an everyman. Hence 'Peachy Jack'.
Peachy Jack
In days of old, young Peachy Jack,
from river born, explored the earth,
and sought the spirit-island ways
to fight the spirits of the earth;
he met a dog upon the road
and with him shared some sticky buns;
a monkey, and a pheasant, too,
were sharing in those tasty buns.
"And whither go you?" each would ask;
"I go to steal the spirit-gold,"
our Peachy Jack would then reply,
and so they went in search of gold,
and, coming to the spirit-house,
the pheasant flew above the gate,
the monkey climbed the ivy wall,
the dog broke through the iron gate,
and they and Peachy Jack did fight
the spirit-king and bound him well,
and took his gold and then went home;
the four together lived quite well.
