Disclose Notes: Probably reprinted from Kerry Drake Detective Cases, Harvey Comics, c. 1948. Two job numbers appear on original art (sold at Heritage Auctions): the first is crossed out, but appears to be KD15P3, for Kerry Drake issue 15, page 3. The second job number is SS1P29 for Sad Sack issue 1, page 29.

This "Snoopy" is not the famous beagle (he would debut, unnamed, in Peanuts Oct. 4, 1950) but a human character who is a plainclothes policeman.
