Here’s an example I scanned of The Mistakes of Cupid by Stilwell?. Also includes a fragment of a Gene Carr strip above it.

Please be advised that like many of the comic strips of the era, it contains offensive racial depictions. If this sort of thing offends you, you may not want to view it.
Here’s an example I scanned of The Prodigal Son by Gene Carr (best known for Lady Bountiful). Interesting how it is broken into two parts, one on the right and one on the left… it would seem this strip could have been the inspiration for Goofus and Gallant. Unfortunately, it is missing the bottom half of the strip… if anyone wants to draw the imagined conclusion to this, I will gladly post it.
