Police Comics #54
In "The Thinking Machine," a 1946 issue of Police Comics, a quiet moment in India takes a wild turn when soldier Dewey serves his general a cup of tea made from leaves sent by his mother—only to discover the brew is actually catnip, drawing a pack of tigers to their camp. Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, this cleverly twisted tale blends wartime setting with unexpected humor, all brought to life with sharp, expressive art. The cover, by Jack Cole, captures the scene’s tension with bold, dynamic lines.
