☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Society Luncheon," Dewey stumbles upon his father, Paw, bedridden and battered—leading him to suspect a neighbor’s revenge. But the truth is far more mundane, and far more absurd: Paw’s injuries stem from a misguided attempt to bathe in the family’s new washing machine. Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, this 1949 gem from Police Comics #86 delivers a quiet, character-driven moment of domestic chaos, with a cover by Jack Cole that captures the scene’s bewildered tone.
In this lighthearted 1949 tale from Police Comics #86, Dewey stumbles upon his father, Paw, tangled in a tangle of laundry and bruises—leading him to suspect a neighborhood brawl. But Paw’s explanation? He was just trying to take a bath in the new washing machine.
When a mysterious letter warns that a crackpot plans to assassinate the Governor at a charity dog-racing benefit, rookie cop Dan Richards—who secretly moonlights as Manhunter—finds himself caught between two identities: he's ordered to provide escort duty, but the Chief demands Manhunter be on the scene. As Manhunter arrives with his faithful dog Thor, a sinister scheme unfolds involving sabotage, explosives, and a criminal mastermind working the mechanical rabbit that drives the races. When a bomb threatens the crowd, Thor's quick instincts and bravery become the key to uncovering a plot far more complex than anyone anticipated.
