Percy Crosby - Skippy Sunday Comic Strip
<B>Percy Crosby - Skippy Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 5-7-33 (King Features Syndicate, 1933).<BR></B></I> Skippy plays the fall guy in this animated laugh-riot. Percy Crosby's early career in American cartooning was brilliantly summed up by noted comics historian, Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr., "The <I>Skippy </B></I>strip in <B>Life</B></I> exposed Crosby to a nation and gave him a canvas upon which to experiment even further. There was an energy in <I>Skippy </B></I>that was new to the comics page. That fluid brush stroke was applied with more surety and speed. The humor and pathos developed a more universal touch, and the public loved it. By 1925, Skippy was a household name. He had a book collection of his <B>Life</B></I><I> </B></I>strips titled <B>Life Presents Skippy, </B></I>and he was starred in his own newspaper strip." This hilarious Sunday has an image area of 17" x 13.5". The art was cut between panel tiers two and three; otherwise, the art is in Excellent condition.<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
