Can anyone identify the newspaper strip denounced on our page 7 (pamphlet page 10)? It sounds like a Buck Ryan episode, but this was America in 1944 so that ain't it. Could Lynn be talking about Dick Tracy, but describing the actions of one of the villains rather than "the hero?" Tracy was a straight arrow and never went clubbing while DT villains got a lot of solo screen time in the strip. It'd be easy for an uninitiated reader to think Flat Top & co. were the stars. But I can't think of a Tracy character who'd fit the profile of the adulterous landlady with the juvenile delinquent brother. Is it one of the cartoonier strips? I don't know them as well as the adventure strips. I must know! It's the only way to silence my algolagniacal urges.
