Weird Tract Number 85: Untitled Anti-Alcohol Tract from Churches of Christ Temperance Committee

Troy Davis writes:

This 8-page anti-alcohol comic book is weak sauce. It's looks like a poor knock-off of two Peanuts characters discussing gardening until the next-to-last panel when the unnamed boy slams booze. This particular tract was passed out by The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Melbourne, Australia. The back of the tract contains the old prohibitionist trope that alcohol "makes one shrivel up inside.'"
