Pages: 4
Disclose Notes: 4 Sunday pages, each with a separate logo. However, the story is a single continuity (although it appears there is at least one episode missing between the first and second page). The character of Joe is an early version of Dibble's later character "El Bombo" who had his own strip in the 1940s. Only the first page has a credit.
