Katzenjammer Kids has an interesting back story. Turns out the original cartoonist split from W.R. Hearst and drew a competing strip for decades with the other one being called “The Captain and the Kids”. That one ended in 1979, with the Katzenjammer Kids ending n 2006. It was the first to use thought balloons. Due to its 6 decade long run, it is the oldest strip still in syndication at King Features Syndicate.

“All Britain rights reserved” The colouring does remind me of Comics of the UK such as “The Topper”, now sadly gone….

A dandy coat. But why the rug? Why the ottoman?
