Herriman Saturday
Wednesday, August 12 1909 -- Amos Pidjin just keeps getting kookier today in the penultimate episode. Herriman really seems to be finding his comedic voice in this short run strip. There goes my ulna!
And as promised last week here on Herriman Saturday we have the fight results for the fourth and final bout between Jack Twin Sullivan and Fireman Jim Flynn. You'll recall, no doubt, that the pair were so evenly matched that two of their three previous bouts ended in draws. And what of the fourth bout?
Aargh! Yet another draw! Boo, hiss! Herriman was so disgustipated that his ringside cartoon barely even mentions the pair, but rather highlights the undercards.
