1903 Chicago Chronicle Comics Part II

Here's another pair of the Chronicle's Sunday comics. Silas Shrewd was by C.E. Ashbrook and Bluffer The Bully was by Fred Lewis. The Bluffer gag is micron thin, but what a wonderful art style! Too bad this Lewis fellow apparently didn't continue his cartooning career (leastways I've never heard of him).

From my thin sampling of sections, both Silas Shrewd and Bluffer The Bully ran on 3/15 and 3/22.
