Wish You Were Here, from Fred Opper

A great bust of Happy Hooligan on this 1904 Kaufmann & Strauss card, #62. Most of this series was Outcault cards, but there were a few from Opper, including this one that I failed to recognize at the time. It was correctly IDed by Mark Johnson, though, so thanks Mark.

I have seen this same card, with the "Valentine Greetings" omitted.

My name is Allan Holtz. I am a comic strip historian, and author of "American Newspaper Comics: An Encyclopedic Reference Guide." This blog is my outlet for all manner of interesting, oddball and rare material related to comic strip history. It is also a forum where others interested in comic strip history are encouraged to participate through the comments, or even by contributing articles. Have some information about a strip or cartoonist you'd like to share? I'd love to hear from you!
