Description

Clifford McBride - Napoleon Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 9-29-35 (Arthur J. Lafave, 1935). Napoleon fans will love this brilliantly executed, mostly pantomime gag featuring a horse that goes into hysterics upon seeing the riding costume of Uncle Elby. Clifford McBride's canine creation, Napoleon, was tiny Cleveland-based syndicate Arthur J. Lafave's biggest star, and it's no wonder why. Always stylishly drawn in fine-line pen and ink, Napoleon was never-the-less a big, goofy hound whose comic expressions were always rib-tickling. The page is composed of carefully done original art paste-ups on a larger support paper, and it also has a number of blue-pencil marks denoting color to be added by the engravers. This Sunday is in otherwise Excellent condition, with an image area measuring approximately 16.5" x 22". From the Estate of Bruce Hamilton.
