In "Newton discovers the law of gravitation," a whimsical take on scientific history unfolds in Famous Funnies #9, a 1935 comic featuring a cleverly reimagined moment of discovery. Written by Monte Barrett and illustrated with spirited detail by Jack W. McGuire—both inks and pencils—this early comic strips down a monumental idea into a playful, character-driven tale. The cover, a vibrant and dynamic piece by Victor Pazmiño, captures the spirit of the story’s imaginative twist.
