Drag cartoons was published by pete millar from 1963 thru 1968 and this particular cartoon likely appeared in 64 or 65 judging by the topic and style of hte cars. The cartoon's topic was a dragstrip operator's need to get more spectators in the stands. The title is wonder wart-hog comes to the drags!
The title page is particularly interesting to drag race collectors as it features an altered wheelbase dodge vs. nA fx studebaker. Take note of just how much the wheelabse is altered on the dodge. The cartoon also includes the little red wagon, herman munstre driving the dragula along with lassie, and hoss from bonanza.
