Monkeyshines Comics #2
Monkeyshines Comics #2 (1944) This anthology issue features multiple comic stories and games. One story, "Slick Chick," follows a female character who attends a dance and offers fashion advice about wearing clothes to make a man, stating it's acceptable as long as one isn't "solid in the head." The issue also includes "Monkeyshines with Lines," a game-puzzle feature explaining an ancient Persian military strategy game played with nine "men" (pennies and nickels) on circles, where players attempt to place three men in a straight line to remove opponent pieces. Additionally, the comic contains various animal character stories and brain teasers designed to entertain readers with humor and interactive puzzles.
