From Smash Comics #31, 1942. Pretty cool image.
In a comic book panel, an explosion hits a man wearing a vest and sitting at a desk with a monkey lifted aloft by the blast behind him. The man's papers, pen and inkwell are also lifted by the blast. Both of them show word balloons with question marks. A panel from Smash Comics #31 1942
