I was thinking about getting the single issues (as it is what I prefer to read), but I just saw the price of #93!! TPB it is!

They did a Creature Commandos DC Nation shorts series, here's the trailer...
not quite a serious take and not as charming as the Doom Patrol shorts they did.

This esoteric question should test the members of CCF's skill:
World War II affected the homefront with many shortages and rationing. In the world of comics, paper was rationed and publishers were forced to downgrade their comics from 64 pages to 48 pages.
Obviously, steel was also rationed for the war effort. And I always wondered if their was any discussion of using just one staple for comic books. In fact, I believe there was a publisher, a minor one, who only used one staple, right in the middle, for a short time.
Anyone here can confirm this?

I have a couple of Fawcett books from the period that have just the one staple in the center of the spine. They were not the only publisher to exhibit that feature. ETA: Here's proof FWIW. It's Captain Marvel Jr. #13 (sorry for the humblebrag). See how there's just one staple in the spine? And here's the centerfold:

I have been trying for some time to track down a comic strip from memory. I will throw it out here in case somebody has insight.
I saw this comic in a newspaper clipping in the early 2000s, though the comic could be much older than that.
It was a 3 panel comic entitled something akin to "How to draw a dog." The first panel was a circle for the head. The second added a couple dots and triangles for eyes, ears, nose. The third panel was the joke. It said, approximately, "Working carefully, fill in the details." The third panel was a photorealistic picture of a dog (perhaps a collie).
I have always wanted this handy for teaching math or computer programming, as it seems quite apt. I likely saw it hanging on the wall of a math professor's office. And would love to track it down.

I remember a joke like that too. I think it was Gotlib or Goscinny in Rubrique-à-Brac or Les Dingodossiers. I'll try to look in my books when I have time if nobody can help you.

I've seen variations of that joke at least a couple times, I'll see if my usually lame google powers can find it.

I did a Google image search for "How to draw a" joke and was presented with this too, along with plenty of other examples.

Sorry Coke & Comics, I couldn't find it in my books. But it seems like it's a fairly common joke, so it might be hard to find exactly the one you read.
