Page "PM (newspaper)" Paragraph 8

Between his stints on Dickie Dare, Coulton Waugh created his short-lived but notable strip, Hank, which began April 30, 1945 in PM.

The story of a disabled GI returning to civilian life, Hank had a unique look due to Waugh's decorative art style, combined with dialogue lettered in upper and lower case rather than the accepted convention of all upper case lettering in balloons and captions.

Some dialogue was displayed with white lettering reversed into black balloons.

The uniqueness of Hank continued below its surface, as Waugh sought to raise questions about the reasons for war, and how it might be prevented by the next generation.

Waugh discontinued it at the very end of 1945 due to eyestrain.
