Still eight years from Krazy and Ignatz, there is a vitality of movement to Herriman’s work which is hard to find elsewhere this early in the twentieth century. These early strips, in general, not just his, had a combination of violence and gentleness which seems a bit alien over a hundred years later.

But the punch line is in the title…Or was that customary at the time? Great find!

Don’t you just love some of these early cowboy- or rural-themed comic strips, like this one pictured here? Let’s saddle up and enjoy!

There weren’t too many automobiles around in those days, and the ones that were didn’t go very fast.
