The humorous cartoon adventures of two hapless heroes, Dahler & Nicholls, dedicated officers of the law, who, with the aid of their intrepid four-legged assistant Horatio, try their level best to "make the streets safe for decent citizens."
Sometimes they succeed...
A cute comic filled with clean jokes - imagine if "Dick Tracy" had been drawn by Abbott & Costello or Laurel & Hardy. Over 120 full-page B&W illustrations. (The paperback edition conveniently doubles as a coloring book.)
