The strip was a spin-off of Caniff's popular strip '' Terry And The Pirates ''. Originally the character Burma, a beautiful adventuress from ''Terry'', was intended to be the star but Caniff eventually introduced a new character, Miss Lace. The strip was aimed at boosting the morale of servicemen and was oriented towards mild humor and pin-up art. It was inspired by Norman Pett 's comic strip '' Jane '', published in the British tabloid '' The Daily Mirror '' from 1932 to 1959. Given its reading demographic, the content was somewhat racier than was permitted in mainstream civilian publications. Nevertheless the strip still had to pass muster with military censors. Distributed by the Camp Newspaper Service, the strip appeared in over 3000 papers, the largest number of individual papers in which any single comic strip has appeared. |
