In the first panel of page 3, Silly and Ziggy are advised to “Watch out for those steel pennies,” a reference to the zinc-plated steel cents produced by the Bureau of the Mint in 1943 as a wartime conservation measure. In the last panel on page 6, Silly and Ziggy disguise themselves as Creeper and Crawler.

Indexer Notes
“Japs” on “an island in the Pacific” are depicted as yellow slant-eyed pointy-eared pigs, except in splash (yellow monkey). In the last panel on page 5, two such soldiers commit “hali-kali” (i.e., hara-kiri or seppuku), oddly enough by shooting each other. On page 7, an ape and a monkey take exception when Ziggy derides the Japanese soldiers as “apes” and “monkeys”; Ziggy comments, “Since when can monkeys and apes talk? Next thing you know, they'll have pigs talking in these stories!” In the second panel of page 8, Ziggy kills a Japanese soldier with a rifle shot.
