Herriman Saturday

Friday, April 10 1908 -- Surely Herriman got back from this assignment telling everyone in the newsroom that he'd just returned from having lunch with a whole room full of clowns. Well anyway, I know I would have.

Herriman meets and caricatures America's #1 clown, sans makeup, Spader Johnson, and Herb Cornish, Shrine circus star, among others.

My name is Allan Holtz. I am a comic strip historian, and author of "American Newspaper Comics: An Encyclopedic Reference Guide." This blog is my outlet for all manner of interesting, oddball and rare material related to comic strip history. It is also a forum where others interested in comic strip history are encouraged to participate through the comments, or even by contributing articles. Have some information about a strip or cartoonist you'd like to share? I'd love to hear from you! You can post a comment on any post (click on 'Post a Comment' at the end of any post), or email me (see below).
