The year (1941) in the caption is clearly a typo, the copyright on the page says 1913 (and McCay died in 1934). I wonder whether the “May 11th” shown here is still correct?
To mwbarr: I couldn’t agree less. The way to appreciate the Rarebit series is not by looking to the punchline, which doesn’t really exist. Modern minuscule strips are totally punchline-oriented. The enjoyment here is in the fantasy and the craziness of the situation. McCay’s imagination and drawing ability is the draw, Punchlines are for lesser artists.

If you’ve read one of these, you’ve pretty much read ’em all.

These are as comparable & enjoyable as Little Nemo in Slumberland.
