Disclose Notes: Giveaway comic. One story has the line "1938 Harry "A" Chesler Syndicate, NY". Joe Penner's Cocomalt radio program ended in June, so the book, which was a giveaway for the show, must have come out before that date. Story in January 25, 1938 New Castle, PA. News indicates book was in preparation at that time.
