Herriman Saturday: March 17 1910
March 17 1910 -- It's the day of the 45-round Fireman Jim Flynn - Sam Langford fight, the big scrap that Herriman has been flogging in his cartoons now for over a week. And where is Herriman on the big day? He's off giving a pan to a new theatrical revue!
Herriman not only drew the cartoon for this piece, but wrote the article, too. Shame, then, that my fleet-footed copying of these cartoons led me to miss that fact and not get the review as part of my takings. Refunds will be offered on your way out the door, folks.
The only name here that rings a bell is Charlie Ruggles, an actor who would eventually become an ubiquitous character actor, on stage, on radio and on large and small screens.
