Description
Frederick Opper Happy Hooligan Sunday Comic Strip Original Art dated 5-17-08 (American-Journal Examiner, 1908). The oldest Happy Hooligan we have ever offered! Happy, and the stars of two of Opper's other strips And Her Name Was Maud, and Alphonse and Gaston all appear in this Sunday, where they are invited for dinner. It's the menu that has them worried, however! A product of a different time, the humor plays on negative stereotypes prevalent at the time. The running plot had the cast held captive by King Ibbity-Bib for several weeks. Created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 20.5" x 25.75". The strip is partially watercolored as was the process at the time. Each time a character, setting, or object first appeared in the Sunday, it would be colored for the printer's reference. It was expected to be colored that way throughout the printed comic strip. The board is toned, with pinholes in the margins. There is a small rip in the left side, and some minor stains in the last panel. In Very Good condition.Auction Info
