One Shot Wonders: Tragedy and Romance of a Venetian Serenade by Herriman, 1901

In the McClure comic section of December 15 1901, George Herriman offers us a bit of slapstick comedy imported all the way from Venice. He also serves to improve my vocabulary, sending me scurrying to the dictionary to find out that a 'caitiff' is a contemptible of cowardly person. Thanks George, I daresay I will find some use for such a juicy term.
