Ha Ha Comics #15

In "null," Uncle Looie takes parenting seriously, armed with a book titled *The Bear Facts on Raising Children*, determined to teach Izzy and Dizzy a lesson after their sticky mishap with jam. Unaware that the duo has altered the book’s instructions, he dives headfirst into preparing them for a cooking lesson—complete with flour, whisks, and a whole lot of confusion.

Detective Dog has been tailing the smooth-talking Fingers Finnigan through the backstage corridors of a theater, where nothing—and nobody—is quite what they seem. As the cunning thief lectures a stage-hand on how appearances deceive (exposing the fake muscles of strongmen, the lip-syncing of singers like Madame La Boheme, and the artificial looks of matinee idol Lanny Swoon), he reveals his own secret: a stolen safe full of real jewels hidden in a dressing room. But the stage-hand has a revelation of his own waiting in the wings—one that'll teach Fingers that sometimes the best disguise is wearing the truth.
