'Uncle Sam' (by Will Eisner and Dave Berg): When a senator is blackmailed by crooks and forced to overturn his own bill mandating food quality, Uncle Sam goes into action. It's not the most exciting set-up, but Sam ploughing through crooks with a knowing wink and a nod is just fun to read. This strip shouldn't work, but it does.
