Cuties a single panel comic by E. Simms Campbell . Like many of America's brightest cartoonists, Campbell take his work very seriously. But exhibited here are simply gags for the sake of being funny. He's not blowing his top yet. Couple top center.
Allowances go up in smoke till little junior ends up broke.
Jive Gray , I understand is based upon a real-life WW2 flying Ace by the same name. It is unknown what the real Jive Gray did after the war, but the comic Jive becomes a civilian with a air cargo shipping business taking on jobs flying merchandise around the world. They have a run-in with Lilla Diller, ace woman reporter who is on the hunt for the killers of her father, a brilliant Black scientist at an unspecified 'Negro' college. Believing Jive is involved, she sets out to settle the score. The professor is hiding out from a 'powerful group' that doesn't like the idea of important experiments being conducted at a 'Negro' college.
