Witty Comics #1 published January 1945
as [untitled] [Story on Interior Page(s)]Reprinted with changes from Big Red McLane story in Fight Comics. Changes include: Pseudonym of writer changed. Red wears a hat in the original story, it's been doctored out in Ted's story. All of the speech balloons have been expanded to give the text more breathing room. Page 2 has some interesting detail added in the trees and path at the bottom of the page, as well as speech balloons added for the attackers. There are speech balloons added in a number of places. In the last panel the text "We better get that timber cut before another war starts!" is replaced with "We better get that timber cut before we tangle with another gang!". The difference of course is that Fight 7 came out just before WWII and Witty 1 came out just as it was ending.
