...College of Medicine of State University of Iowa, a centrifuge whirligigs at 95 r.p.m. From 14 cages spinning about on the centrifuge come the squeaks of mice and hamsters that have spent most or all of their lives under conditions of high gravitation. Last week Physiology Professor Charles C. Wunder, who conducts the experiments, announced that his centrifuged mice have conceived, delivered and raised nine litters at up to 2Gs (the gravitational force at the earth's surface is figured at 1G; at more than 1G. earth's creatures feel heavier; at less than 1G, lighter). Neither parents...
Four years ago, Cartoonist Milton Caniff gave up his Terry and the Pirates to draw a brand-new comic strip around a handsome, tough character named Steve Canyon. Last week readers of Steve Canyon and Terry (now drawn by George Wunder) were having a hard time keeping the strips apart. Both Steve and Terry, returned to active service as Air Force officers, were in the process of making air rescues of American troops cut off in Red territory in the Korean war. Both rescues were complicated by pretty, willful females-Canyon's by Dr. Deen Wilderness and Terry...
...Though Wunder's Terry was running about two weeks behind Caniff's Steve in story plot, no one complained of plagiarism. Since comic strips are drawn weeks before publication, both Wunder and Caniff explained that plots have to be "safe" enough to survive any last-minute turns in the war. And what could be safer, in advance or retreat, than a daring rescue...
...left Joe Patterson, though not the first to abandon his brain children.* Patterson and Caniff never spoke or met, after Caniff joined Field. (In Patterson's Daily News, and in most of the other 310 papers that print Terry, the strip was being drawn last week by George Wunder. Wunder, like Caniff-whom he has never met-is a left-handed graduate of the A.P. Judging by his first week, his drawing was a reasonable facsimile of Caniff's, but his dialogue was a long way below...
...mustached, rosy-cheeked George Wunder, 33, formerly an obscure A.P. staff artist. Richard Clarke, executive editor of the Daily News, liked his trial strips best of the samples submitted. What Wunder does with Terry depends, in the beginning at least, on Milton Caniff. Says Clarke: "We've got to see where Caniff is going to wind up. We can't have a sharp break." Caniff had promised only one thing: not to kill off all his characters...
