4 unusual facts about Jimmy Hatlo


Jimmy Hatlo

When the United States entered World War I, Hatlo went to Kelly Field, hoping to become an aviator despite his poor eyesight.

Little Iodine, a spin-off comic strip featuring a mischievous little girl who had become one of Hatlo's stock characters, even got her own series of comic books and a 1946 movie adaptation.

The two papers later merged as the San Francisco Call-Bulletin, part of William Randolph Hearst's publishing empire.

Hatlo's other strip, Little Iodine, was adapted into a feature-length movie in 1946.
