"A Short Haul" in The Funnies #28 (1939) finds Captain Colorful refusing to work with women—until Scribbly hatches a plan to trick him by claiming his new movie will be all-male. With Colorful convinced and gone, Bernie promptly calls Vivien Darling, the famed vamp, setting up a deliciously ironic twist. Written, drawn, and inked by Sheldon Mayer, this early comic showcases his sharp humor and knack for playful subversion.
