Nobody knows how many million laughs he's given his fans, but everybody knows that he has distributed more than in prizes and bonuses to 446 winners who outsmarted him. If you would like to have The Tribune delivered to your home, put an in the circle at the bottom of the Little Fooler coupon.

"He would keep looking at me with that one eye," confessed Mr. Frain, "and I would go into kind of a daze."
