Miss Cairo Jones #1 (1945) delivers a delightfully absurd quartet of Sunday strips starring the perpetually hapless Simp O'Dill, all written and drawn by the singular Sol Hess. From parachuting into chaos to swapping lives with a mischievous ape, and stumbling into a mad scientist’s botched experiment with hybrid birds, each strip is a tightly wound, gag-driven romp. The cover by Bob Oksner captures Simp’s latest misadventure with classic flair, making this 10-cent gem a rare, self-contained slice of pre-war humor.
