1937
All Hail Daffy Dill. These first five covers feature Daffy the way I picture him, with curly red-blond hair and looking a little like Richard Sale himself (gotta wonder if that was deliberate). I'm sure there were many more bearing this image, but sadly, I just don't happen to own 'em.
The issue above presented the first (I think) of at least two team-ups with Sale's DFW photog hero, Candid Jones. (Read the first Candid Jones story, "The Long Shot," HERE.)

Mighty colorful and expressive.
Thanks guys!
More Daffy Dill! Especially the story where he co-stars with the German Shepherd.
Okay, okay. I own a German Shepherd.
I have Tinsley's reporter, "Tracy"
coming my way, but "Daffy" is my #1 wisecracking newshound ever since I read "Nose For News" way back when.
"Get that story" and "Stop the presses, I got a story that'll blow the roof right of this town"
