In this episode I go back to 1935 and 1936 and discuss

  • how business was actually done in the early comics industry
  • the rise of Comics Magazine Company
  • Everett M. "Busy" Arnold's career in comics
  • the unsavory intersection of "Busy" Arnold, Joe Paterno, and the realities of big-time college football in the 1930s
  • Funny Pages #6, and why it's an important issue in the history of American comics
