Joker Comics #2

From June 1942, this second issue of Joker Comics delivers a bright, chaotic scene straight from the funny pages: a hapless police officer cruises along in a rattletrap "Squat Car Squad" jalopy, cheerfully lamenting that "nothin' ever happens around here!" — completely oblivious to the wild commotion erupting behind him near the 31st National Bank and a freshly dug excavation. The cover promises wall-to-wall laughs with strip previews for Snoopy and Nutzy, Tessie the Typist, Powerhouse Pepper, and Dippy Diplomat tucked along the bottom. At a dime a copy in 1942, this all-new anthology was clearly determined to keep readers grinning from cover to last page.
