Comics on Parade #4 (28)

"Follscap" in Comics on Parade #4 (1940) delivers a quirky, character-driven slice of early comic strip humor, all penned and drawn by Bernard Dibble in a distinctive, expressive style. The story follows Dilbury Dingle’s awkward attempt to flatter his wife while she sleeps, and Danny’s odd realization about his resemblance to his father after wearing a gorilla mask—leading him to consider joining a lodge. The cover by Hal Forrest captures the whimsical tone with a bold, stylized image that perfectly complements the issue’s lighthearted, offbeat charm.
