Description

Charlie Plumb Ella Cinders Daily Comic Strip Original Art, dated 9-13-30 (Metropolitan Newspaper Features, 1930). Music lovers and hat enthusiasts will flip over this quirky episode, in which heroic Ella Cinders rescues neighboring merchants from the Depression-era whim-whams -- a free ukelele with every new chapeau sold will require a new piano to keep that uke in tune. Something like that, anyhow. Plumb's quirky sense of humor is a breed apart from conventional gagwriting. Ella Cinders' freckled face and varnished pageboy haircut radiate confidence and draw the reader straightaway into the bizarre premise. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Image area, 22" x 5.5". Very Good condition, with age-toning and a center crease.
