# Inspector Moon Won His Bet and Then... This is a story page from a pulp fiction magazine featuring a comic-strip format narrative. The story follows Detective Inspector Jim Moon and mystery writer H.K. Kyne as they debate the plausibility of a crime novel. When Kyne's fictional "archer" character turns out to be real—a woman named Diana who was target shooting on a nearby rooftop—Moon investigates sporting goods stores. The page concludes with an advertisement for Thin Gillettes razors, integrated into the narrative's dialogue, promoting their smooth shaving quality and affordability.
