Eventually the bigger comic companies figured out that running letter columns would meet that requirement, with the added benefit of getting the readers to do 90% of the work. Take that, U.S. Post Office!!
But before that realization (or at companies that didn't receive a lot of letters), comic books would have text stories amongst the cartoon shenanigans. A two-pager, or two one-pagers, would just be there in the book, daring you to read it! Heck, Stan Lee's first published work was one of those two pagers back in Captain America Comics #3!
Well, to celebrate the start of a new week, here's an astonishingly bright and uplifting one-pager from Black Cat Mystery #50 (1954):
Have a nice week!

Well, that was cheerful!
Of course, considering the infamous cover of Black Cat Mystery #50, Tommy could have had it a lot worse...
Wow! And the moral of the story kids... is don't ever question your parents so long as the money is rolling in... or you will DIE!
