V. T. Hamlin Alley Oop Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 8-12-33 (NEA Service, 1933). Talk about a special Stone Age treat! This is the earliest Alley Oop daily that we have ever offered by more than a year! It is just the sixth outing ever for the Caveman, and his fan-favorite dinosaur Dinny, who makes his very first appearance right here! Alley Oop goes from the frying pan, into the fire in this wordless, ink over graphite on Bristol board, four panel daily, from 1933. Not many artists could match Hamlin's peerless penwork, or the seemingly 3-D depth that he achieved in his panels. The image area measures 24.5" x 5.5" and is in Very Good condition. There are some pencil notations along the edges, outside of the image area, pinholes in the corners, and moderate overall toning. We expect some serious interest in this historically important piece. "Look at that caveman go!"
