About What Do GM Diesels Do?
*This well-executed eight-page “giveaway” comic is slightly bigger in dimensions (7¼” by 10 ¼”) than the average comic book – and certainly with better paper, printing and production values in general -- WHAT DO GM DIESELS DO? was created with the intention of educating young children about the many uses of General Motors’ line of diesel-powered vehicles. Although this issue’s 8-page story bears the sole credit, “Verses by J. W. Brown, Detroit Diesel Engine Division”, no effort has been made to identify the person who so ably drew it. This story – which actually begins on the 8-page comic’s cover -- introduces a new corporate cartoon spokes-character to represent General Motors’ diesel division, “Jimmy Diesel”.
