| Content | Genre: Humor; Detective-mystery | Characters: Ima Slooth; Gyp the Dip |
| Notes | This is a revised version of a strip from Blue Ribbon Comics (1939 series) #1 (November 1939). The original version was 3 pages @ 8 panels per page; the new version is 4 pages @ 6 panels per page. As a result, the original Jack Cole art has been augmented to fill in the different dimensions of the panels (additional details at top and bottom). There are some other minor changes, including the addition of a "Buy War Bonds" sign on a wall and the erasure of a line of text in the last panel (replacing it with the drawing of a mouse). The original version was in duo-tone and black-and-white (1 page), while this version has been colored. |
