NotesThis episode appears online at https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=29186

Du Bois writer credit per Du Bois markers, and per page 87, Gaylord Du Bois's Account Books Sorted by Title compiled from the original account books by Randall W. Scott (Michigan State University Libraries 1985) 203 leaves ; 28 cm. -- Photocopy of computer printout. -- Call no.: PN6727.D77 A2S35 1985, which states:

"The Fighting Yanks. 6p. For Red Ryder Comics #23. Submitted August 14, 1944."

Du Bois markers and identifiers:

LANGUAGE: Pidgin English. Page 4, panels 6,7,8; page 5, panels 1,3,4. Du Bois writes extended dialogue in Pidgin English here.

FRIENDSHIP. Page 4, panels 5,7. Friendship is established between the Fighting Yanks and the people native to the island.

TRADE. Page 5, panels 1,3,4. Trade is established between the Fighting Yanks and the people native to the island. Here, the Yanks, by killing the enemy (Japanese soldiers) have momentarily nullified the Japanese hostility to the natives; they then go on to provide them with weapons with which to defend themselves against future Japanese hostility, in exchange for an outrigger sailing canoe for the castaway Yanks to move on in.

RACE / CULTURE.
• Page 3, panel 2.
The caption describes the Japanese soldiers as "the little brown creatures."
• Page 4 panel 6.
Pal calls out to the natives, "We fella friends belong black fella."
• Page 5, panel 2.
Snorky's ignorance shows, as he says to Pal, "Are you sure these guys ain't cannibals, Captain? I don't like the looks of this stew." Pal sets him straight, saying, "Don't worry, Snorky...Rua-tua is Christian, and these chunks in the stew are purple yams."

CHRISTIANITY/RELIGION. Page 5, panel 2. Religion is a frequent element in Du Bois scripts; and favorable presentation of (tacit, or, as here, overt) Christian faith is also found in his scripts.

CULTURAL EDUCATION. Page 5, panel 2. Cultural didacticism takes the form of identifying a food in the diet of the South Sea Islanders.

NAUTICAL/SEAFARING TECHNICAL VOCABULARY. Page 5, panels 1,3,8; page 6, panels 2,8. The vocabulary he gives us here, to look up on our own (except proa, and Seaplane tender), are:
• Proa (an outrigger sailing canoe)
• Halyard (a rope used to hoist a sail)
• Comber (a long curling sea wave)
• Seaplane tender (a ship that supports the operation of seaplanes).
