Disclose Notes: This strip ad is for Carnation Malted (that Rocky carries in his saddle bags!) and also plugs his Republic movie "Bandit King of Texas" that was released in 1949. This definitely looks and reads like a precursor for the Hostess ads that were so prevalent in the 1970s.

Disclose Notes: The action here, the jeans and boots of Monte, and peculiar gunsmoke with a hole in the middle are mostly found in Pfeufer's stories. The inking must be by John Jordan, as it matches quite well his signed work on "The Cadet" in Target Comics #8, 1943.

Disclose Notes: Comic strip format, in color, with coupon, for Electric Football game. This is a slightly edited version of the 1949 ad (e.g. $2.50 price has been updated to $3.00 and the company address has been changed) but, basically the artwork, script, and coloring are virtually the same. Located on the back cover.
