Dial E For Eternity--Blame Canada!

It's time to ask ourselves...

What the hell is going on in Canada?

Honestly, there's not a lot to see in this story. A fleeing murder kills a Mountie, takes his clothes...

...and proceeds to try and pass himself off as the officer.

Mountie dog-feeding etiquette may trip him up!

So the guy forgot to take Bascom's dog-tags, and is arrested (?) by a dozen dead Mounties? Man, I'm glad I don't have to fill out the paperwork in this case!!

We should note that this second consecutive text story about murders in the Canadian woods. what the hell is going on up there?!?!?!

  1. I've learned a lot from this blog (in addition to having a ton of fun), like how for regulatory reasons Golden Age comics had this kind of text content. I'm curious, did kids read it? Or just skip past it to the comics?

  2. Hard to say. Most of them were, at best, mediocre and tepid, and barely worth the effort.
    Then again, I read every word of the "modern" version of text pieces, letters pages and bullpen Bulletins," when I was a youth...
