Here’s an example I scanned of Jimmy aka Little Jimmy from February 22, 1925 by Jimmy Swinnerton. Check out that crazy form-fitting word balloon in the first panel. This example is much later than the previous ones I posted… note that the traditional recurring punchline having Jimmy getting his ass beat by his papa in the last panel seems to have been phased out.
