Gingerites

Tuesday Comic Strip Day.

Here's an oddity. This strip appeared in 1947 in selected newspapers and only on sundays. It may have been one of those New York Tribune strips that had a limited distribution*, at least that is where most of my samples have come from. It doesn't seem to have made it beyond the Sunday only stage, but it has a lively style and it seems to me the artist may have worked in animation. His name or the strip does not appear in Jerry Bails' Who's Who. Even Alan Holtz' has not mentioned it, although it would surpise me if he hadn't seen it. It think it may appeal to all you Milt Gross fans out there. Of course, the style may have been too old-fashioned for it's perid, but that doesn't bother us from where we stand. I have more, but that will take some extra scanning.

*Turns out it isn't. See the comments.
