Today in Comics History, October 9, 1929: She learned too late that man is a feeling creature...and because of it, the greatest in the universe. She learned too late...

...for herself that men have to find their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can't be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. When men seek such perfection, they find only death...fire...loss... disillusionment...the end of everything that's gone forward...


from "Frisco Mary" in Crime Must Pay the Penalty #3 (Ace, August 1948), pencils and inks by Warren Kremer

...Men have always sought an end to the toil and misery, but it can't be given, it has to be achieved! There is hope, but it has to come from inside, from man himself.
