Our Gang Comics #6
In "Billy Dollar," a 1943 Dell classic, a dollar bill gains life under Johnny’s pillow, delivering a wartime message through a surprisingly spirited voice. Written by Oscar Lebeck and brought to life with expressive art by Walt Kelly—pencils, inks, and letters all by the same hand—the story turns a simple coin into a patriotic messenger. The cover, also by Kelly, captures the whimsical urgency of the moment.
