Comment:	This is one of those early Golden Age comics that is so everlovin' crude that you just have to marvel. It does have early Nordling and Eisner, and it is fascinating to see the later sophistication of comics here in its embryonic stage. There is art here that wouldn't have passed muster even 5 years later, especially one of the humor strips which has "art student" written all over it. A fascinating comic.
