In "Woozy Winks, Juror," a mischievous note drawn in pictograms sets off a chain of misunderstandings when the General mistakes it for a coded message. Written and illustrated by Bernard Dibble, this 1944 tale from Police Comics #27 finds Dewey caught in a farcical mix-up that turns a simple family joke into a military mystery—complete with a cover by Jack Cole.

In a lighthearted 1944 military mishap, Dewey accidentally drops a letter from his mother—drawn in pictograms—leading the General to treat it as a coded message. The General’s frantic translation reveals a surprisingly unflattering nickname, leaving the situation hilariously awkward.

Martin L. Mirth, a wealthy man fleeing a gangster's threats, encounters his physical double—a destitute drifter named Ben Bumb—and proposes a daring switch: they'll trade places for a month to experience each other's lives. But when the month ends, Mirth discovers his imposter has no intention of surrendering the fortune and identity, leading to a murder that leaves the real Mirth desperate to convince Manhunter of the truth. A twisted tale of switched identities and the question of who deserves to be called Martin Mirth when one of them is dead.
