McEvoy, John Striebel, Frank Beck and Mart Bailey. Big Shot featured reprints of McNaught Syndicate humor and adventure strips, alongside original characters like Skyman and The Face. General Powers and Senator Smutherline use Sparky Watts as bait to find and capture a Nazi spy ring. Vic Jordan is correct that Lt. Hawks is actually Nazi spy Major Koenig, but the knowledge almost comes too late. The day before the big pet show, Bo the dog chases cats all night long, leaving him in less-than-stellar form for the show.
