Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling Wally Gimmel's Billy Dare Boy Adventurer with Quentin in Smuggler's Cape Ch. VILX: "Overtones of Subtext!" Louis: Give it up, Dr. Steiglitz! I've got you covered! Dr. Steiglitz: Of course you do! Look who your creator is! Louis: Huh? Louis: My creator? The late cartoonist Wally Gimmel? What about him? Dr. Steiglitz: Come on! Affiliations with racist organizations! His public stand against US involvement in World War II? Louis: Well, what do his views have to do with ME, a beloved comic strip character? Dr. Steiglitz: You think his views didn't filter into this comic? You're a blond boy, obviously of Northern European descent. Dr. Steiglitz: I'm dark, vaguely ethnic, with an exotic last name, so I must be the villain! An old, decrepit villain. Dr. Steiglitz: So even a juvenile member of the "superior" race can defeat me! Dr. Steiglitz: Look at how my nose is drawn! It's not even subtle! Billy: No! You can't conflate the private views of an artist with the art itself. Billy: Wha...? He slipped away! Typical sneaky, swarthy CENSORED! Next: We re-present 1939's classic: "Billy Dare On The Dark, Black, Scary Continent"!
