Jack was a Province cartoonist at the start of WWII, and he also produced two comic books during the war. First, his "Accent on Axis" was published in 1940 and featured 50 cartoons, followed by "Heeling Hitler" in 1941 which featured 63. Each staple-bound booklet featured Anti-Nazi editorial cartoons that ran in the paper in the past year. In 1943, Boothe left for a newspaper post in the east, first with the Globe and Mail, then various others. He returned to Vancouver later in life to work for the News Herald. I’ve included a couple undated cartoons noted as July 1944 in the Vancouver Archives. The Province typically featured their editorial comic on numbered page 4, though sometimes the cartoonist would also illustrate various stories throughout the paper, as needed. By 1945, Claude Dettloff photographs could be seen substituted for the editorial cartoons on page 4. Claude was the photographer who took the 'Wait for me Daddy' photograph. Sadly, according to the last article shown here, Boothe was working on a book about cartooning in Canada for the Federal Government, but it seems that manuscript was never finished.
