Cover by Jack A. Warren. Editor: Lloyd Jacquet. Art editor: Dick Loederer. CANONICAL STATUS: Non-canon. Couldn't find it. Got the credits and content info online. A bunch of things change after this issue. I don't know the cause and effect relationship, but I'm guessing the catalyst is that, for whatever reason, this is Lloyd Jacquet's final issue as editor. Jacquet will go on to become art director for Centaur and then found Funnies Inc., the packager that put together the earliest Timely comics, including Marvel Comics #1. Meanwhile, perhaps due to the loss of its editor, New Fun will lose its monthly schedule after this. Three of New Fun's regular artists are also out: Charles Flanders, Lawrence Lariar, and Lyman Anderson. Their respective strips will continue with new artists. The trio will see their careers move in very different directions, none of which involve comic books. Flanders will bounce around on some comic strips, eventually landing on the Lone Ranger and drawing it for over 30 years. Lariar will focus more on cartooning, eventually become the cartoon editor of Parade Magazine and editor of the Best Cartoons Of The Year book series. And Anderson will spend his days as a magazine illustrator. Also leaving: Jack A. Warren, whose Loco Luke strip comes to an end. Warren will revive Loco Luke for Dell Comics in a few years, draw the Pecos Bill comic strip, and do some comic book work over at Novelty Press. Three recurring features debut in this issue: Charley Fish, a humor strip from Vin Sullivan; Famous Flights, possibly written by someone named Al Whitney; and Man's Inventions.
