The Cover
- The Indian wars are over, and the miniature brave won. He was outnumbered, but the narrow trails and tin-can canyons of a superduper market provide easy escape from ambush, and the peace negotiations resulted just fine for little Chief Fiend-in-the-Face. The Chief did not have a steel-pointed arrow for his bow; so it is not sticking in that white man’s back and doesn’t account for his pain-in-the-face. The arrow, which had a suction cup, is in the store, sticking to a ham. Will the white man pinch the bag by mistake when he sets it down? And will the squaw ever get her headdress unbent? Dick Sargent, to assure realism in his art, borrowed a little boy to prove that one could be put in a paper bag. He let the boy’s father do it, to assure that he himself would not get scalped.
