Obscurity of the Day: Little Sister
Little Sister was a cute little panel cartoon produced by Virginia Carman for the Christian Science Monitor. The feature wasn't long-lived, it ran 1-3 times per week from October 30 1941 to May 9 1942. As with most of the Monitor's features it tended toward the saccharine, but Carman's versifying was lively and inventive enough to make the feature an enjoyable little bit of whimsy.
Carman has no other known credits, which is too bad because her cartooning, while perhaps not the most technically proficient, has a nice charm to it.
Hi All!
ReplyDeleteI believe I found an original drawing from this series in the "strip" format. How can I share the image?
