Smitty at Military School

Walter Berndt’s Smitty at Military School is a single 1933 comic from Cupples & Leon, spinning off the popular newspaper strip into a self-contained adventure. This one-shot captures the beloved wisecracking kid in a new, disciplined setting, offering a tidy snapshot of Berndt’s clean, gag-driven style during the Depression era. It matters as a compact, standalone artifact of a newspaper classic’s early foray into comic book publishing.
