Wish You Were Here, from A.T. "Crite" Crichton
Here's a postcard drawn by A.T. "Crite" Crichton, whose main claim to fame in Stripper's Guide land is his unusual and beautiful strip Little Growling Bird in Windego Land. This postcard scan was provided for our enjoyment by Mark Johnson, who has this to say about it:
It’s a fat joke, and he’s playing golf, both things President Taft was famous for, so it can only be Billy Possum, unnamed and unauthorized. The copyright line reads “Copyright by L. Gulick 1909”. The obverse is unused, but bears an unfamiliar trade mark bearing the motto “HSV LITHO CO.” and in the corner; “Series P” (I guess for Possum.)
Thanks Mark!
