Enraged in advance, and feeling that he was already the dupe of a wily fraud, he took steps to improve his station. But just what steps he took are a matter of conjecture. Capp, a man with such an instinct for the dramatic that he sometimes lapses into purest fiction, swears that he got the copyright from the syndicate by a one-man strike: he quit drawing the strip for two weeks and thus reduced the syndicate to abject submission...

Inside, the hullaballoo swelled to Sinatran size, even though, noted one London reviewer, stocky, ruddy-faced Crooner Peers "makes no undernourished appeal to the maternal instinct." From the minute he first let them have it-In a Shady Nook, It's a Hap-Hap-Happy Day-in a jolly and effervescent baritone, "like an uncle at a children's party," the fans couldn't get enough of Britain's "Sinatra with blood...
