Description

Very early Kirby strip (I think nr.73) from second story - The Hicks Formula. Some fantastic detective work with Rip and Desmond. Also bonus is Rip's pipe in 3rd panel. Raymond used blue-ish ink wash in all panels which is not so common in Kirby strips (looks very effective, especially in night scenes like this one).

Inscriptions

Signed, 4th panel
