Description
George Herriman Baron Bean Daily Comic Strip Original Art (c. 1916). Three months before the Sunday Krazy Kat began, this domestic comedy strip debuted by the same artist, George Herriman. Looking quite a bit like the popular Mutt and Jeff dailies, this feature starred the Baron, a tall, mustachioed poser and freeloader, usually accompanied by his faithful valet and sidekick, Grimes. Although not dated by year, a "51" can be found in the last panel's corner, leading us to believe this is an example from the strip's first year. Baron Bean is considered quite scarce in today's marketplace. Written in red pencil in the lower margin is the strip's tag line for the day, "But everything was all right after all," presumably written by Herriman. This episode has an image area of 26.5" x 6.5", and it was neatly cut between the second and third panels; otherwise, the art is in Excellent condition.More information about George Herriman.
