The Knicker, May 1930 issue, is a promotional comic book for a clothing company that sells knickers for boys. The sub title, "Official for Pie Eaters," apparently refers to a now obscure, but one-time "hip," bit of slang. On page eight, Uncle Sam asks Tim for help to fly a Pacific-to-Atlantic airmail flight to deliver the mail. The regular pilot is sick from fright on account of the ghosts. Unfortunately, Tim wrote down how the story turns ends in secret code. So unless you also get your hands on the code book - see Tim's Official Handbook (1933), good luck deciphering the story Tim wrote. But not to worry, the other pages are perfectly readable. The back cover features a Levy Bros. ad for a boy's Palm Beach Suit (just $8.50). 12 pages, black and white, mini comic-sized.

The Knicker, March 1932 issue, is a promotional comic book for a clothing company that sells knickers for boys.

The sub title, "Official for Pie Eaters," apparently refers to a now obscure, but one-time "hip," bit of slang. The back cover features an ad for a boy's new suit (just $10.00 to 14.00). 12 pages, black and white, mini comic-sized.
