Just a few pages left I want to share from this issue. This shooting contest demonstrates that, if you get more than one attack per turn, and you win initiative, you still get all your attacks before the other side goes.
These gags are from "Life's Like That," which I often enjoy. The one on the left I found particularly funny, while the right reinforces my own distrust of the stock market, all these decades later.
This page, apparently from way back in 1935 (according to comics.org), demonstrates that monkeys are naturally skilled pick pockets no matter what size the monkey (maybe a 2 in 6 chance?).
What kind of monkey is this? As cartoonishly as it's drawn it is hard to say. It is clearly not a mandrill or a proboscis monkey. Since howler monkeys can grow to 4' tall, I'm thinking that's what this is meant to be, though a langur or a macaque are also not outside the realm of possibility.
