Let’s count all of the things you could NEVER put into a comic strip in 2013 that are drawn big as life here in this strip from 1896!
Endless blatant stereotypes (and some bullying) but zero segregation… interesting for those who tend to assume that the two go hand-in-hand.
yeh, we got lots and lots of trouble.that’s a capital T and it rhymes with P and that stands for POOL!
Gee, I wish I could read it!
There always seems to be a girl with a big hat, the amount of content is amazing, seems like some of the strips for “Girl Genius” took after this.
Being of Irish descent, I know about the jokes of that time. Personally I think they are still funny. BTW, I may not be a Lib, But I’m no Con either. Just keep the playing field level. I think thats what they were doing back then.
Outcault was a genius. I hope you’ll share these, and all the other early comics with your friends. The history of comics is a wonderful, rich field.
Wow, there’s a lot going on here! This is something else!
The rules on the table… wow…
