Boots is incredibly stilted and unfunny, but you get to see her upper thigh...

I like this feature! My own Sunday mornings--not 1939, mind you--were spent reading the color comics, especially the few adventure strips like Prince Valiant but especially The Phantom, whom I adored. It would've been great if a Terry and the Pirates color strip was in those twelve pages.
