Editing Jack Cole (artist) (section)

===''Millie & Terry''===

Around the same time he started at Playboy, or possibly just before that, Jack Cole created a new comic strip for the faux army Sunday section The American Armed Forced Features, which was produced between 1955 and 1965 by the W.B. Bradbury Co. (which, according to comic and magazine historian Steven Rowe was "an ad agency, selling ads for college magazines in the 40s-50s, before branching out to ad inserts for the military") {{cite web|title= Jack Cole's 1956 Mystery Comic Strip, comments section|date=February 21, 2010 |url=http://colescomics.blogspot.com/2010/02/millie-and-terry-jack-coles-1956.html}} as a ready made Sunday comic section that army newspapers could add to their own Saturday or Sunday paper (with room left for their own masthead). Called Millie & Terry, it told the humorous adventures of two friends who move to an army town, where they are constantly pursued by the wolfish soldiers. Stylistically, it fits right in between the style he used for his "Jake" cartoons and the later "Betsy and Me". Starting with three one page gags, Cole continued the series with half page gags until September 1957. Not much has been written about this unknown series, except for a short piece on Alan Holtz' The Stripper's Guide {{cite web|title=American Armed Forces Features - Wha?|url=http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2006/04/american-armed-forces-features-wha.html}}, a discussion by Jack Cole expert Paul Tumey {{cite web|title=Jack Cole's Mystery 1956 Comic Strip|date=February 21, 2010 |url=http://colescomics.blogspot.com/2010/02/millie-and-terry-jack-coles-1956.html}} and a discussion with lot of samples by The Fabulous Fifties {{cite web|title=Back To The Cole Mine|date=May 28, 2022 |url=https://allthingsger.blogspot.com/2022/05/back-to-cole-mine.html}}
