Kid Klub - Jennie and Jack

Rare surviving episodes from Sunday Comics featuring episodes of Kid Klub by Wallace Goldsmith and Jennie and Jack, also the little dog Jap on the front. At the back we find 6x Val the Ventriloquist by Crane and Just Imagined it - that's all and 6x George and his Conscience by Bart and the wandering goat Bolivar by Hal Coffman at the back of the page. 12 episodes from 1908 Kid Klub: After Wallace Goldsmith gave up doing his long-running Little Allright strip for the Boston Herald's Sunday comic section he switched over to a panel cartoon titled Kid Klub. Kid Klub's large panoramas full of joke-filled vignettes recalls the even-then good old days of Outcault's Yellow Kid and Swinnerton's Little Tigers. Kid Klub began on January 26 1908 and ended when the Herald finally gave up on their homegrown Sunday section for the third and last time on August 9 1908. At least one paper, the Evansville Journal-News, ran the section until August 30 but they might have just been three weeks behind. Jennie and Jack, also the little dog Jap: Hays was born Margaret Parker on July 3, 1874, to George, an art publisher, and Mary Jane (née Fitzgerald) Gebbie. She was educated by governesses until the age of 13 when she then attended the Convent of Notre Dame. Hayes worked with her sister, Grace Drayton, on a number of comic strips and children's books, including The Turr’ble Tales of Kaptain Kiddo. Hays created post cards and paper dolls, and while her sister Grace Drayton is best known for creating the Campbells Soup kids, Hays created jingles for Campbells. Hays best known strip is Jennie and Jack, also the Little Dog Jap, a strip that was syndicated in 1908. Along with writing comic strips and children's illustrated books, Hays wrote poetry and was published in a number of magazines Val the Ventriloquist: Val the Ventriloquist actually served up a smidgen of something akin to humor, a nice change of pace at that paper. Most of the Herald cartoonists were better known for their drawing ability, whereas Frank Crane, veteran comic stripper, actually knew the ins and outs of gag construction. Here he takes a kid ventriloquist through his paces. Val throws his voice to right wrongs, make the world a better place, and occasionally create a little good old-fashioned mayhem. The plotlines are very similar to that Boston mainstay, Billy the Boy Artist, just substituting a kid with voice-throwing ability for one who can execute trompe l'oeil paintings. Val the Ventriloquist ran from August 26 1906 to August 30 1908. Crane is best-known for his boy inventor strip, Willie Westinghouse Edison Smith, that he did for many years at the Philadelphia North American, but he also did work at the New York Herald and a few small things for World Color Printing. Just imagined it - that's all: Pierre Artigue was an early 20th-century American newspaper comic artist, who drew several short-lived gag comics for the Sunday papers. His longest running strip was 'He Just Imagined It - That's All' (1906-1908), which ran in The Boston Herald. Through the North American syndicate, he then produced the features 'Pa's Nightmare' (1907), 'When Dad Was a Boy - He! He! Ha! Ha!' (1907) and 'Curious Charley' (1909). In The Rocky Mountain News, he drew 'Mr. Want' (1912) and 'Chris and Christena's Courtship' (1912). George and his Conscience: "George and his Conscience" is an early American newspaper comic strip created by the illustrator and cartoonist Charles "Bart" Bartholomew. The feature originally ran as a popular Sunday color comic page in the Boston Herald around 1909. Shortly after its success there, Bartholomew moved to other major publications—including the Newark News and the New York Globe—where he continued to write and draw both daily and Sunday features The wandering goat Bolivar: A late entry to the Boston Herald's third and final attempt at syndicating its own comic section, The Wandering Goat Bolivar ran from January 26 to August 9 (or August 30 in syndication) 1908. I admit to not knowing enough about Central American revolutionary leader Simon Bolivar to quite understand why the goat is named after him, or why, for that matter, the goat wears a crown. Hopefully an astute reader can fill in the implications of the title and the character. What I can say is that this is Hal Coffman's first known comic strip series, and ran a few years before he became a fixture in the Hearst newspapers. Coffman was a jack of all trades with Hearst, supplying large Sunday editorial cartoons (spelling McCay), weekday news and social cartoons, story illustrations, sports cartoons, you name it. Coffman had a long career, at least into the 1940s, but he was never particularly comfortable with series comic strips. The few he did were short-lived. The pleasantly cartoony style Coffman exhibits here bears little resemblance to his later work, which is more detailed and realistic. The pages are in good condition, although wrinkles, tears, flaking and missing pieces may occur. Will be shipped with track&trace. The lots in this auction can be shipped combined.
