Obscurity of the Day: Tommy Tuttle

Here's another series from one of my favorite creators, Walter "Brad" Bradford. This one is disappointingly conventional, not at all the norm for the wacky Brad. But it is a Hallowe'en strip, apropos for this week!

Tommy Tuttle is one of those 'bad boy' strips, and it began under the title What That Smith Boy Brings Home on May 21 1905. For reasons unknown Brad changed the kid's name to Tommy Tuttle after a short while and the series continued under the new name until November 26 1905.

Thanks to Cole Johnson for the scan!
