Herriman Saturday: March 3, 1910

 

March 3 1910 -- Ad Wolgast has just won the lightweight championship from Battling Nelson, and Herriman shows us graphically how he and his manager, Tom Jones, managed to get in front of other contenders to get the fight with the now former champion. 

If you pay attention to the dates of these cartoons, you will have noticed that there was over two weeks between this cartoon and Herriman's last. It would seem to speak to a vacation, but after this cartoon, we will lose Herriman for another three weeks of inactivity. I thought perhaps he was busy with syndicated work for Hearst, but February - March was actualy one of his periods with nothing going on in that world. If it was a vacation, it certainly was a long one.
