Additional MALE CALL link.
However, Miss Lace had a real live woman as her human counterpart, Dotty Partington. Dotty modeled for Caniff as Miss Lace and also made public appearances at hospitals in her Miss Lace persona that the GI's would instantly recognize. "As Miss Lace, Dorothy would frequently visit wounded veterans at military hospitals and joined several USO tours to boost and support the morale of US servicemen. She was very proud of her contributions to the morale and support of servicemen during WW II as part of the US war effort". - Ryan Curtis
