Police Comics #88

In "Surprise Package," Dewey's knack for precision throws takes an unexpected turn when his demonstration for a visiting baseball scout goes awry—what starts as a display of skill quickly spirals into a mishap when a neighbor, misunderstanding the scene, hurls a rock with unintended consequences. Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, this 1949 tale from Police Comics #88 captures a moment of comic tension with a classic, character-driven twist, all framed by Jack Cole’s sharp cover art.
