“Escape to Russia”
"Escape to Russia" in New Funnies Special #Spring [1943] delivers a delightfully surreal twist on a classic circus setup, as Biff and Smack find themselves in a bizarre photo session with a tiger impersonating the assistant—art by and written by Douglas Lovern West, with all creative duties handled by the same hand. This 6d comic from 1943 captures a moment of pure, playful absurdity, grounded in the whimsy of wartime-era humor.
