"Publisher's note: These comic strips were created in an earlier time and may contain cartoon violence and occasional historically-dated content, such as gags about smoking, drinking, gunplay, and racial stereotypes. Needless to say, the characters in these stories wouldn't mix it up with these elements today; we include them here with the understanding that they reflect a bygone era.
