☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Patches #9 (August 1947) This issue contains two main stories. "Senator Claghorn" features the loud-mouthed politician and his assistant confronting a villain named Mud in a chaotic sequence involving a runaway car and a dog. The second story, "Boy Scouts of America," follows a young cub scout who enjoys circus acts, trick stunts, and campfire activities with his scout troop and father. A separate feature, "The Luckee," presents a contest where readers complete the final line of a story about a magical car that grants wishes, with winners receiving duplicate prizes from the publisher.
In "Senator Claghorn," a pair of misfit teens—Tubby and Whitey—attempt to build a makeshift taxi service using a junkyard car, leading to a series of chaotic, slapstick mishaps as they struggle with broken parts, questionable mechanics, and their own lack of experience. The story follows their wild ride through Crawford Corners, complete with near-misses, mistaken identities, and a surprisingly elaborate delivery scheme that may or may not actually work.
Jimmy, a young boy troubled by his role in bullying a group of European refugees, confides in the radio persona of Mr. District Attorney, who uses the Statue of Liberty as a lesson in tolerance and the shared immigrant roots of Americans. The story follows Jimmy’s journey from prejudice to understanding, culminating in his decision to apologize and welcome the refugees as neighbors.
