A 1948 classic from Eastern Color, Famous Funnies #173 features a delightfully absurd moment when Elby shows Willie a candid photo of Napoleon—only for the emperor to steal and destroy it, much to Elby’s amusement. Written, drawn, and inked by Clifford McBride, this lighthearted gag is brought to life with playful energy, while the cover by Stephen Douglas captures the zany spirit of the story.

Uncle ElbyNapoleonWillie

In this lighthearted 1948 humor strip from *Famous Funnies #173*, Elby amuses Willie with a cringe-worthy candid photo of Napoleon, joking it might land on a magazine cover. When Napoleon catches wind, he panics and tries to destroy the picture—only to find Elby has plenty more where that came from.
