Reprint Notes:
from daily Scorchy Smith (Associated Press) June 17 to November 8, 1935 All the dialogue has been greatly simplified and has been relettered in a much larger size. In some panels more than 40 words have been eliminated. The first 3 pages have 5 tiers, which are each a full daily strip. The remaining pages have 4 tiers. This larger size makes it necessary to move one panel to another tier, to drop a panel entirely, or to slice off part of a long panel.;
