"Where There's A Will" by Ed Wheelan was previously seen in ALL-NEW COMICS #6 (January 1944). Wheelan was a genuine cartooning genius who doesn't get the appreciation he deserves. Best known for MINUTE MOVIES (that's a double-entendre for "mine-yute" as in "tiny"; as well as "minnit" as in "fast"), Wheelan originally created the movie-melodrama parody strip under the title "Midget Movies". He later drew those as backup features in DC's FLASH Comics, as well as working for M.C. Gaines on FAT & SLAT, after Gaines split with DC to form a new company (that eventually morphed into E.C. Comics). For Alfred Harvey, Wheelan did "Rufe McGoof", "First Aid KIT", and "Padlock Homes" as well as a few one-off strips like "Where There's A Will". E.C. Segar's THIMBLE THEATRE was probably initially patterned after Wheelan's MIDGET MOVIES (and the two cartoonists' styles are not dissimilar, either).
