Studs Terkel is a squat, 61-year-old man who has spent the past three years interviewing Americans about their jobs. He began in Chicago, where he is the host of a daily radio program.

...gracefully conceded the election to Eisenhower. Kelly introduced an unshaven wildcat named Simple J. Malarkey, who resembled the then-rampant Joe McCarthy and abused civil liberties in Okefenokee. Nikita Khrushchev appeared as a grumpy pig. Portraits of Lyndon Johnson as a nearsighted longhorn steer, J. Edgar Hoover as a squat bulldog and Spiro Agnew as a hyena occasionally annoyed editors and readers. As a result, papers sometimes dropped the strip. Kelly professed indifference ("They usually come back"), but he sometimes prepared alternative, apolitical episodes and let his subscribers choose...
