Description
Jimmy Swinnerton Mr. Jack Daily Comic Strip Original Art (Hearst Syndicate, 1914). James "Jimmy" Swinnerton was one of the earliest American comic strip artists. His first efforts predated The Yellow Kid by several years. In 1896, Swinnerton, began drawing little tigers, reminiscent of Thomas Nast's famed "Tammany Tigers" and a new strip, Mr. Jack was started. This strip is prime Swinnerton, with the title character trying to pick up an attractive lady tiger, much to his later chagrin. This piece has an image size of 18" x 4.5" and is in Excellent condition.Auction Info
