This was a surprisingly fun read. There was lots of snappy 30s-movie dialogue, especially from the enigmatic Belle Owney (bel-oney, get it? Nudge nudge). The illustrations were apparently clipped from newspaper strip panels. All the art is at the bottom of the picture and compositions are awkward. It doesn't do justice to Charlie Plumb, a capable middle-tier cartoonist.

And here are some examples of the strip.

Love this Quote from Charlie Plumb.
" What a mouse is to an old maid, what an ear-scouring is to a small boy, a bllank sheet of white paper is to a newspaper comic strip artist. It scares him stiff!......... Nothing frightens a cartoonist worse than a sheet of blank white paper. Even years of drawing don't dispel this panic. The average stripper will sit in his chair in the general shape of a pretzel, chin resting on the drawing board, waiting for inspiration."
