Monday Madness ALL-NEGRO COMICS "Lil' Eggie"

Some things are universal...
...including vaudeville-level humor about husband-wife relations, as this never-reprinted cartoon from All-Negro Comics #1 (1947) proves!
Illustrated by John Terrell, it reads much like the then-current Maggie & Jiggs comic strip about a married couple who were constantly-throwing crockery at each other during their arguments!
Terrell himself was the artist for more material in the book (including house ads and both covers) than anyone else, handling crime (Ace Harlem) and humor (Lil' Eggie) with equal aplomb!
All that's known about Terrell is that he was from Philadelphia.
There's literally no other info extant about him, and All-Negro Comics was his only credited work.
It's possible the "Terrell" name was a pseudonym.
