Patches #9
Patches #9 (August 1947) This anthology issue features Senator Claghorn attempting to help a young Boy Scout resolve a civil dispute in Congress, with the story devolving into comedic chaos involving arguments about constitutional procedure and parliamentary conduct. The issue also includes a humorous story about a boy named Tubby entering a contest to win a prize by completing the last line of a jingle for "the Luckee," a peach-colored car that runs on a gallon of gas, though his creative attempts at the contest line prove increasingly absurd and nonsensical.
