This early speedster's costume rarely seemed to be the same from one story to the next. This time out, though, it's drawn by Mike Sekowsky and George Klein, both of whom were already pretty good here, some 20 years before their peaks as Silver Age greats (mainly at DC). Note the story credit to "Neel Nats."

It has two of Stan's 'marker's' as well: his love of slang ("Ya gonna!") and using 'thru' for 'through' (which he did all his life.
"Sonny Boy" was an Al Jolson song and one of the songs Jolson did in Blackface. Perhaps Stan thought he was clever referring to a Black inmate as that.
"Sonny Boy" was a musical of the time in which Al Jolson played a Black man in Black Face. Notable that Stan has the Whizzer call the Black inmate 'Sonny Boy'. Stan eventually comes around- when it's fashionable to.
