Someone noticed bills with the same number were being spent locally, and they were deemed to be counterfeit, since bills all have different numbers. The Sweenys somehow got out of being arrested for counterfeiting -- they may have said they found the money, or someone gave it to them. They had to chop down the money tree because it was causing trouble.

There were a few other saucer references in the comics, but your may be the first serial.<br /><br />Previously, Will Eisner's "The Spirit" comic section was believed to be the first saucer story, dated September 28, 1947. <br />https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/287695-flying-saucer-covers-amp-stories/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-7678971<br /><br />I recently came across an even earlier flying saucer bit in the "Superman" Sunday comic section of August 24 & 31, 1947. It's just a short gag, Superman hoaxing a flying saucers (with noble intent of course).<br />We'll probably cover that one soon here at STTF if I can get a good color scan of it.Curt Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773941506205598439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574854931901227262.post-5350452822470928632019-06-07T12:49:45.237-05:002019-06-07T12:49:45.237-05:00Hm, interesting.
