"The Story of the Phillipines - Part VIII" in Famous Funnies #28 (1936) delivers a lively slice of early comic strip storytelling, with J. P. McEvoy scripting and J. H. Striebel handling both art and inks. The cover, by Victor Pazmiño, captures the era’s vibrant style, while the interior story follows Dixie as she finishes a rigorous gym session and sets off for Christmas shopping, drawn by the bustling crowds heading toward the department store across the street.
