Comment
                                Milton Caniff Terry and the Pirates Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 4-12-37 (Chicago Tribune-N. Y. News Syndicate, 1937). The figures and backgrounds in Terry grew more realistic and heavily shadowed areas created a dramatic mood that quickly became a hallmark of action-adventure cartooning. This daily is titled "Calling Card".
