   By
These early Chesler grab-bags are always interesting. Fred Guardineer does a nice Raymondian future war story and H. C. Kiefer really stands out among the "realistic" style strips. Can you imagine modern corporations allowing someone to get away with appropriating their trademark characters and treating them like this (not even addressing the fact that the mascots are all gross racial stereotypes)?
