In "The Unlucky Quarter," a whimsical 1943 adventure from Feature Comics #64, the magically animated Buddha statue Blimpy—brought to life by young Tabby Tyler’s incantation—embarks on a comically desperate attempt to pass as African-American by smearing coal dust on his blue skin. Written, drawn, and inked by Sy Reit, the story unfolds with playful absurdity, anchored by the unique premise of identity and disguise. The cover, by Al Bryant, captures the statue’s mischievous transformation in bold, expressive lines.

Rusty Ryan and the Boyville Brigadiers suspect trouble when a small-time salesman named Wilbert T. Thump shows up at an army ordnance plant just as two German engineers—Kurt Luger and Alfred Krantz—arrive with plans for a secret magnetic shell.

With espionage, gunfire, and quick thinking, this wartime tale tests whether the young detectives can outsmart enemy agents operating right under America's nose.
