Pre-Golden Age comics - Buster Brown
I was going to post these on the 30 Days of Winter series, but wasn't able to for various reasons. Anyway, here are a few scans from one of my favorite pre-Golden Age comics, Buster Brown!
Buster Brown is a newspaper comic strip created by Richard Felton Outcault in 1902. Most people seem more familiar with his other famous strip, The Yellow Kid.
Buster Brown is a usually well-meaning but always trouble-making young boy, with a talking animal companion (an American pit bull terrier named Tige,) whose words only he can hear, and whose sage advice he usually ignores. In a lot of ways, the strip reminds me of an early Calvin and Hobbes. Buster usually writes about what lessons he's learned at the end of each strip.
Buster often gets in trouble despite meaning well...
But sometimes he is quite bad.
Sometimes he even uses his trouble making skills for good ;)
The comic is now in public domain. You can read more Buster Brown comics, in black and white, here at the public domain comic resource Barnacle Press!
