Notes:
This cover gag is later reworked for the cover of Paul Terry’s Terrytoon Comics (St. John, 1951 series) #84 (January 1951), featuring Mighty Mouse on a television screen frightening off a hungry cat. The progression of Mighty Mouse from theatrical short subject to television staple is noted by these covers in tandem.
Notes:
Ad offering a three-piece matched set of a fountain pen, ball point pen, and mechanical pencil, each engraved with a person's name in gold lettering. Comes with a 10-day home trial, and full-year's guarantee. Black and white ad on inside front cover.
Notes:
First installment of the wacky Mighty Mouse sub-series “The Perils of Pearl Pureheart”, patterned after the melodramatic cinematic “Perils of Pauline”. Though the series often sports “Episode Numbers” (sometimes ridiculously high episode numbers, at that), it is not a continued saga, but an issue-self-contained series of satirical perils and escapes, over many diverse settings and locales, that runs throughout the various Mighty Mouse comics published by St. John – including many reprints in later St. John issues. Unlike stories in the “regular” St. John Mighty Mouse continuity, which would feature Mitzi Mouse, The Claw, Professor Ohm, etc., this series utilizes Pearl Pureheart and Oil Can Harry, recurring characters from the series of Mighty Mouse theatrical animated shorts – and uses them to great humorous advantage.
Notes:
The Prince of Mousetania and Cinderella appear as mice. All other storybook characters appear as their traditional selves.
Notes:
Crossover with the Rudy Rooster character from the Dinky Duck feature.
Notes:
St. John house ad for subscriptions to Terry-Toons Comics with a free 8x10 print of Mighty Mouse in a classically heroic pose. One, two, and three-year subscriptions are offered, at a proportionate savings per issue.
Notes:
A reworking of the 1945 Mighty Mouse theatrical animated short “Gypsy Life”, but without the typical Terry-Toons “operatic stylings” and decidedly set in the St. John Mighty Mouse comic book continuity. For instance, MM’s comics girlfriend Mitzi appears in the story and the two face danger together whereas, in the cartoon, there’s an attractive female Gypsy mouse (that looks like Mitzi) but has no “regular” connection to our hero. Most likely, Tom Morrison wrote both the cartoon and its subsequent comic book version. Artist Connie Rasinski directed the cartoon as well as drew this comics adaptation. – Animation connection credit per Merlin Haas 2020-08-07.
Notes:
Ad offering a "Juke Box Bank", described as "...a gay plastic reproduction of the tuneful Juke Box down at the corner soda fountain". Readers are further advised to “Bring it out at parties or when company comes to call. The coins and currency will really pour in, because everyone wants to see it light up electrically and flash its bit of advice: ‘It’s Wise to Be Thrifty’”. $1.98 complete with battery and bulb. Top half of page.
Notes:
Ad offering a Simplex Portable Typewriter for $2.98, with such "new improved features" as "an individual key for each letter", a "jiffy spacing bar", and it "shifts from capital to small letters". Lower half of page.
Notes:
Ad offering a “nationally advertised camera with flash attachment”, four flash bulbs, and a 16-picture roll of film for $5.95. Black and white ad on inside back cover.
Notes:
Ad offering tulip bulbs, Dutch iris bulbs and "other delightful flower bargains". Black and white ad on back cover.
