Three 1943 cartoons from Ameri-Topics, a newspaper for Amertorp torpedo manufacturer
This is off-topic, but provided by ComicsDC supporter Randy T from some family clippings. And it's cool.
These cartoons are from Ameri-Topics, a bi-weekly newspaper for Amertorp torpedo manufacturer in St. Louise, from August 18, 1943. The cover says "Published in the interest of the employees of Amertorp." Obviously they relate to World War II.
One is a WWII political cartoon by Fitzgerald. Another is by Rinaldi. There is a strip called Lena and Louie Amertwerp by C.R. Schwartz, which deals with safety in using forklifts.

Introducing the Bottorff Comic Backs Price Guide & Checklist 2025 Edition
The Bottorff Comic Backs Price Guide & Checklist 2025 Edition
Ray Bottorff, Jr.
Greenbelt, MD: Ray Bottorff, Jr.
https://archive.org/details/the-bottorff-comic-backs-price-guide-checklist-2025-edition
What Exactly Is a ComicBack?
Basically, it is a neologism meaning a cartoon or comic related mass-market-sized paperback. In 2001, I was going through my two boxes of comic paperbacks and discovered that no one had done anything cataloging them. A little bit of brainstorming later, I came up with the term for them, ComicBacks.I
decided to record all printings and editions that I could. I began with
the obvious choices, comic strip and comic book reprint paperbacks,
which are still the vast bulk of my listings. Then it became clear I
needed to add new and reprint cartoon paperbacks. Then prose novels of
comic characters which had been in vogue then. With a bit of mission
creep, that was followed by prose novels of those proto-superheroes,
pulp hero reprint paperbacks, which expanded to include new paperback
stories of those characters, and then new prose novels about non-comic
originating superheroes or superhero themed paperbacks. Then I added
movie and TV show novelizations based on comic characters. Dime Novel
hero reprints joined the list. I was adding joke books with cartoon or
cartoon-like illustrations and paperback books about the history of all
of the above and animation. That led to adding animated-related
paperbacks and paperback comic book price guides. As I write this, there
are over 9400 entries in my ComicBacks listings, with probably
hundreds, if not thousands of titles and printings, to still identify
and add to this list.

Fredericksburg cartoonist Clay Jones has a stroke
Clay put this notice out today on Facebook and his email list:
Dear friends, lovers, and co-conspirators,
Unfortunately, this week I had a stroke and my right side is partially paralyzed. This means the streak is over and I have to relearn how to use my hand and my voice.
Please bear with me until I figure this out. I appreciate everyone's love and concern. I will see you when I see you.
This post was made with great difficulty using voice messaging. Please do not call or message me.
I love you all,
Clay Jones
