Herriman Saturday
Having a real busy week at Stripper's Guide world headquarters, only had time to prep one item for Herriman Saturday. This sports cartoon was originally published October 5 1906. A larger selection next week, promise!
The Portland Beavers won the 1906 Pacific Coast League pennant. 1906 was the first year the team used the name Beavers. Thanks for the Herriman.
BTW, today I took the family to San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum. There was a nice selection of newspaper comics, including two Herrimans, and a room full of Peanuts. The lead exhibit was "Why Do They Hate Us", a selection of editorial cartoons from around the world.
