Booby, evolved from "bubby," entered American English sometime in the 1930s. Linguists say "buddy" came from "Bübbi," <a href="http://message.snopes.com/showpost.php?s=7c42172cfa4fef9e4d9dd518c7e49230&p=1611134&postcount=6" target="_blank">which means treat in German</a>.<br />
<br />
You don't really need etymology to guess what the comics is about though. It is exactly what the cover makes you think it is.<br />
<br />
<i>Booby Trap</i> #9 came up on ebay over a month ago. After a pathetic bidding war (I'm too poor for fun comics), it was won by someone else. It has since shown up <a href="http://comicvolcano.ecrater.com/p/4780898/vintage-1946-booby-trap-9-comic-book#" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I would still like to share with you what I know of the weird little find.<br />

Despite the cover's claim to be #9, the inside reads Vol. 1, No. 1. Sixty eight pages in full black in white, it is mostly full page cartoons with a few joke pages.<br />
<br />
This racy comic is brought to use by Goodman Publishing in Lake Arrowhead, California. The Goodman Publishing there today i<a href="http://www.majon.com/local/bookspublishingprinting-ret-books/california" target="_blank">s unrelated</a> since it was estiavlsh in 1985.<br />
<br />
After searches of the artist's names turned up nothing, I thought I might find a lead though the Gallery Magazine on the back. It turns out there are a few publication by the name (or some variety of) in 1946. All proved dead ends.<br />
<br />
Here is the interior pages from the ebay listing. Sadly, they are all I have to offer.<br />

I know things have been slow, but they will be picking up soon with some deep looks at golden age artists and fun Fawcett comics.<br />

Dewey Drip is really just a series of popular 1941 comic tropes thrown together into a one page comic. Despite this, the gag strip lasted for 8 years in the pages of <i>Police Comics</i>.<br />
<br />
Dewey gets a letter from the government, informing him that he has been drafted in World War II. Being a stereotypical hillbilly of the 1940s with a love of feuding, he is excited that someone will pay him to fight. While hillbilly humor wasn't unique to gag pages--or even to <i>Police Comics</i>--Dewy's situational humor held him in the book.<br />
<br />
Dewey Drip was created by<a href="http://goldenreadingdomain.blogspot.com/search/label/John%20Devlin" target="_blank"> Joe Devlin</a>. He is credited with all of the strips artwork and writing. Of course some credible sources say he died in 1942, so it is in question.<br />
<br />
As the war ended and Dew returned to his normal, zany hillbilly life, the strip began slowly falling into the back pages. He is absent from #63-64. #67-69, #71-82, and #89. Dewy made his last appearance in <i>Police Comics</i> #93 (August 1949).<br />

This story is by Mickey Marks. From what I can piece together he/she spent most of their comics writing career most of his writing for on comedy features. He also worked on on issues of Blue Bolt (Novelty Press) as "Mickey Klar Marks" <a href="http://comics.gocollect.com/item/search/script/Mickey+Marks">You can some of the comics he/she wrote for here.</a> Mostly though he embraced the 'funny animal' genre. </div>

Not too long before the publication of Superman and the rise of the capes, there was Barry O’Neill. Barry is lauded as the first modern action hero in comics. He has a strong jaw, quick punch, and blank personality.<br />
<br />
Barry is a creation Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson. A idea born to help his new business a line of comic books containing all original material. Barry started appearing in National Periodical Publications' (DC) very first comic, <i>New Fun Comics, </i>in 1935. He moved to <i>More Fun Comics </i>when the title changed<i>,</i> continuing in two pages installments until #25.<br />
<br />
His arch villain, Fang Gow, was yet another Fu Manchu-styled stereotype. The plots and side characters could have easily been lifted from the pages of Sax Rohmer's Fu Manchu.<br />

Fang Gow was never really as interesting <a href="http://goldenreadingdomain.blogspot.com/search/label/Chen%20Chang" target="_blank">as his fellow yellow peril villains</a>. His only unique feature is his directed hatred for France rather than some vague white, western enemy.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93France_relations#19th_century" target="_blank">Given China history with France at the time</a>, this effort makes some historical sense.<br />
