Sunday Odd Funny

With the main system violently dead, the scanner inoperable and the archives inaccessible, we're operating in minimal mode currently. So just one Sunday Morning Funny, though morning is over here by the time this post goes live.
Only one comic, but, it is an Odd one.

One odd bit is the appearance of the artist. I've expressed a fondness for seeing artists appear in their comics before. This time, the artist features prominently, but the identity of the creator is lost to time and management's egos. I kind of want to hunt down photos of all the artists who worked for Harvey in the mid-40s to see if he can be identified.

Yeah. It would probably be easier to find an old pay stub.

Anyway - here's Nappie-Kin!


So...
I've been doing some digging since writing the bit above, and we may have an identity for our mystery artist. Can anyone find a photograph of Leon Jason, circa 1946? Original storyboards for this tale are marked with a Jason Comic Art Studios tag. Jason provided humour comics to a handful of publishers at the time. Beyond that, i know virtually nothing about them, or him.

But that would seem to be the answer to our query.
