This is one strange comic. It suggests that if kids gulp this stuff when they're feeling tired they'll perk right up. Invitation to abuse? Especially since the stuff probably had alcohol in it. I'd swear some of these panels, especially the Captain's face, were drawn by Jack Sparling! Only the rest of the drawing is too clumsy to be Jack. Maybe the artist swiped Hap Hopper faces???

FYI, Hadacol contained 12% "preservative"; i.e., alcohol. That made it 24-proof, or the same as many liqueurs.

No wonder the kids were perked up!

If the date on this is right, this book was published the same year that Hadacol's parent company collapsed under the combined weight of debt and an FTC investigation into misleading advertising. Looking at this, it's pretty easy to see why the FTC brought the hammer down.
