Story Notes

John Prentice did not begin work on "Rip Kirby" until 1956, so the attribution of this story to him is incorrect. Alex Raymond is almost definitely the correct penciler and inker, and Ward Greene the writer, but Ryan Ten has left the attribution to him uncertain since he has no way of verifying that at this time.

Story 9 1 page humor
