Sluggo: Carry your bag, mister?
Man: Okay, I'm tired.
Sluggo: Boy---This is an easy way to make a dime.
Boy: Hey, Joe---I brought the dynamite you ordered.
Funny that the “dynamite courier” is dressed in business attire (such as it is)… Someone who is in the know better than I can verify, but I suspect that Sluggo was probably OK if he wasn’t carrying blasting caps along with the dynamite.
Those were the days – when you could just go and buy dynamite or even TNT and lug it around. I wouldn’t even know where you could buy sticks of the stuff even if I wanted to… ;-)
This strip was remade with a much higher budget by William Friedkin in 1977 as SORCEROR. Friedkin wisely let the audience in on the nature of the cargo for added suspense.

Ask for more than a dime Sluggo.

I do wonder what Ernie Bushmiller thought about work safety standards.

Got to love the 1950s. (I also like that the dude was smoking the entire time.)

With that guy smoking, and the dynamite, Sluggo was almost lit.
