Tip-Topper Comics collected some of United Features Syndicates most popular comic strips of the 1940s in full color, including Lil Abner and Fritzi Ritz.

After defeating Curly Kayoe for the world championship, boxer Dynamite Dunn refuses Happy Daye's demand for a rematch. Abner takes the place of a statue he broke, in a Li'l Abner storyline by Al Capp. Plus the Ripley-like Strange as It Seems.
