    Cover by Ernie Bushmiller. Stories and art by Ernie Bushmiller, Charles Schulz, Al Capp, Sam Leff, and Henning Mikkelsen. Tip-Topper Comics collected some of United Features Syndicates most popular comic strips of the 1940s in full color, including Lil Abner and Fritzi Ritz. Fritzi was later known as "Aunt Fritzi" in the Nancy comic strip. Phil and Fritzi's boring dude-ranch vacation becomes a breathless chase after Phil accidentally lassos a moose. This issue is noteworthy as being the third comic book (after Tip Top Comics (1936) #173 and United Comics (1940/1950) #21, tied for first place) to reprint Charles Schulz's beloved Peanuts comic strip, then only in its third year. Curly Kayoe becomes involved with Grace's center for troubled boys, and mixes it up with gangster Mooch. Surprising Smith wants to marry Daisy Mae, in a Li'l Abner storyline by Al Capp. Fritzi Ritz; Peanuts; Li'l Abner; Curly Kayoe; Ferd'nand; Stamp Tips. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
