Wish You Were Here, from Rudolph Dirks (?)

 

This Hearst freebie card from the 1906 Li'l Arsonist series offers the viewer a riddle of astonishing complexity -- who indeed are the culprits?

Is it my imagination, or is this not Dirks? Usually the cards from this series are by the cartoonists who penned the strips themselves, but except for Hans and Fritz, this sure doesn't look like Dirks to me.

    Hello Allan-
    It is Dirks- or maybe a close tracing of Dirks, because this is a panel from an actual strip, I believe from 1905.
