Black text on an orange background with a color illustration in the center of a boy wearing an orange and black checked suit, orange shoes, and a black top hat with an orange band around the brim; he's pointing at himself and his legs are spread as if he's walking. A thought bubble with black text appears over his left shoulder.

“Just Kids” was a newspaper comic strip by August Daniel “Ad” Carter, which ran from 1923 to 1956. The comic starred the Mush Stebbins and other child characters. The series proved popular and spawned many pieces of merchandise. In 1928, the Just Kids Safety Club was formed, with the mission of imparting tips to children on how to be safe and careful. Children could join the club and receive pinback badges like this one in exchange for making a safety pledge.
