As the story continues Joe reaches a building with the sign "Aryan American League". He finds disgust in this and decides to envision himself tearing it up. He leaves the building, however he passes it every day and eventually bursts. He runs into the building and finds it was just as he had thought.  The room was plagued with Nazi items and plans and this made Joe furious. He tore up everything until he reaches one drawer. and finds an Escapist Comic with all sorts of notes and scribbles. These notes were extremely descriptive. and he wrote "they were identified as threats to the reputations, dignity, and ambitions of German nationalism in America. The writer of these notes, as found in the notes, was Carl Ebling. As Ebling continued writing the notes his "tone of dismissive scorn and outrage moderated and vanished altogether. The entries grew longer and more detailed, breaking down at times into panel-by-panel recitations of the action in the books. The final summary, of the devoid of judgmental as to be completely neutral. Carl Ebling, was in spite of himself, a fan" I found it amazing how even an anti-semetic Nazi who understood the allegorical content of the comic grew to love it and enjoy reading it. Joe and Sam had made their comic so compelling, detailed, and interesting that he could barely even put it down. While Joe continues reading the notes, Carl Ebling himself, comes through the door. Both Joe and Carl are enraged at one another. Joe and Ebling begin to fight and Ebling is knocked out cold while Joe leaves with some bruises. As Joe leaves however he leaves a note saying. "To my pal Carl Ebling, Lots of luck-The Escapist." I find this interesting as I believe that their is somewhat of a connection to Joe and The Escapist. The Escapist's goal is to help people who can't help themselves while Joe does the same thing, trying to help his family get to safety.
