Famous Funnies #121

"Recording the Three Grafters" is a sharp, wry slice of wartime humor from 1944, spotlighting a housewife caught between civic duty and her own exhaustion. Written, drawn, and inked by David Tendlar, the story follows Butch and Algy’s increasingly creative tactics to collect scrap paper—until their persistence leads to an unexpected payoff. The cover by Stephen Douglas captures the moment with a playful, period-accurate flair.
