Description

I bought this Sunday strip from Drake's good friend Frank McLaughlin. He explained that this is an example of using "throwaway" panels. Basically, when a strip can be published in different formats, some parts of the strip art not printed. Frank showed that the right side was folded over when photographing the art. Those panels are actually on a different board that is taped to the back. In general, the throwaway panels are not integral to the strip so they would not be missed.

Living up to the "throwaway" concept, in the last panel of the top and bottom rows, Drake cut out Eve's face from previous strips.

The first panel is a photocopy, not original art. Drake did this frequently.

Here are 2 web pages that explain more about throwaway panels:
Sunday Comics Debt and Josh Reads.

The Heart of Juliet Jones was created by Stan Drake and Eliot Caplin.

I knew that somtimes panels were dropped due to different formats. I did not realize that there was a deliberated design for these panels.

Beautifully drawn Sunday! How odd that 2 panels were designed to either be included or cut depending on the newspaper's formatting (if I'm understanding this correctly). That's as bad a puzzle for the creative team as a Mad fold-in
