Herriman Saturday
Sunday, October 25 1908 -- Herriman illustrates another in the weekly series of articles by former heavyweight champ Jim Jeffries. This week, Jeffries offers his formula for good health and long life. While Jeffries didn't live to be a hundred as he claimed you could if you followed his regimen -- he died at age 77 -- one must factor in the hard life of a prizefighter and say he did fairly well with his system.
PS -- I believe the odd looking fellow in the boxed cartoon above might be Herriman starting to try drawing a 'man-duck', and then running out of time before deadline.
Very nice blog Lots of Cartoons and then some :--->
