One Shot Wonders: Little Fellows, New York Evening Journal 1904
Here's a group of one-shot gag cartoons from a 1904 issue of Hearst's New York Evening Journal. As was sometimes the case in these weekday groupings, these gags have a unifying theme -- one of the favorites subjects of early comics, kids. The top four cartoons are by William F. Marriner, the bottom two are by T.S. Allen. I nominate the Marriner cartoon in the upper right as the champion of the group. Nice lush inking, and the gag gave me a chuckle. Your mileage may vary.

I was surprised to see the upper right Marriner cartoon. Never seen him use so much black. It really pops.
