Posted on May 23, 2012 by STWALLSKULL

Here’s an example I scanned of Dolly Dimples with Gasoline Gus on the same page from March 2, 1913. The Dolly Dimples feature is credited to Grace G. Drayton on the Ohio State University reference site here, but it looks like this was signed by someone named Van Beekman or Von Beekman. Gasoline Gus was by O. P. Williams.

Crumbling Paper: The Stranded Dime Museum Freaks Didn’t Want to Frighten the Farmers, but They Simply Had to Have a Drink

Posted on May 23, 2012 by STWALLSKULL

Here’s an example I scanned of a very fun one-shot strip titled The Stranded Dime Museum Freaks Didn’t Want to Frighten the Farmers, but They Simply Had to Have a Drink from March 30, 1902. I can’t make out the name of the cartoonist from the signature… anyone out there know who it is? If so, if you want to let me know in the comments, that would be swell. I used this as a back cover image on an anthology I self-published a while ago called Weird Illustrated.
