Four Color #176

In "Mac Paints Himself," Mac’s latest invention—a machine that makes ice—leads him into an unexpected partnership with a doctor chasing his own dream: a sandwich-making machine. Together, they open a skating rink, hire Spike Etaks as an instructor, and soon find themselves tangled in a mix of ambition, friendship, and a little jealousy when Spike seems more interested in skating with Tillie than the job. Written and drawn by Jack Callahan, this 1947 Four Color adventure blends whimsy and workplace antics with a touch of classic charm, all rendered in the distinctive style of its creator, who handled every aspect of the story and cover.
