Wonderful beginning but not so happy ever after ending for Chief Paladino and Lee. Quote from "The Origins of Korean Adoption":...The final story in the archive is, however, unaccompanied by a photo of the perpetually smiling boy mimicking his proud adoptive father. Rather, it conveys a very different narrative of “becoming American”— Lee was relinquished to the state welfare department when his father married and “friction” developed
between Lee and his stepmother. Sent to a foster family, Lee, at the age of nine, ultimately ended up being legally adopted by his adoptive grandparents (New York Times 1958)." I found this information at https://urresearch.rochester.edufiledownloadforinstitutionalitem.action?...

Either this is the inspiration for Sarge and his dog Otto, or Dr. Evil and Mini-me.
Who would win in a fight between this guy and Charlie McCarthy?

Was this the inspiration for Dondi, the old comic strip? Why is the headline about a spy?

Patrick--I had forgotten about DONDI! Maybe this incident did inspire, though Dondi supposedly was a WWII orphan.

As for the "spy" bit, I was just trying to be goofy.
