Dixie Dugan

"A man is never too young to become a cartoonist. John Striebel, who draws the widely popular “Dixie Dugan " cartoon strip, won national prominence at the age of fourteen when he was recognized as the youngest front-page cartoonist in the country." -- Modern Mechanix: Dixie Dugan ’s Fathers

I don't that the comic art Striebel did at 14, but below the cut is several "Dixie Dugan " strips.

The Pencils of Doom: Part 1 and 2

The Comet ran trough Pep Comics #17, but Jack Cole was only the writer as far as #5. Before Cole left he had John reporter Thelma Gordon, who remained his girlfriend till the end of his series. Shortly before he meets Thelma, he is hypnotized into stealing and killing a police officer, becoming a fugitive. Thelma believes he is innocence and falls in love with him. Rather than show how they met I though I would post the more interesting "Pencils of Doom." (I wish the was called the "The Murder Car" instead, but no had to be "Pencils of Doom.")

From Pep #5 by Jack Cole
