Herriman Saturday

January 14 1910 -- There's a big aviation meet going on in LA and Herriman offers up some thoughts on the subject. Regarding the first panel, I guess Herriman wasn't aware that parachutes had already been around for centuries. Granted, he has introduced a new wrinkle making it into a skirt -- well, let's leave the fellow some dignity and call it a kilt.

There’s a good article in Wikipedia about the 1910 Los Angeles International Air Meet. It was apparently a major event.
