Description

Not to repeat myself, but if you search the CAF for Salinas Cisco Kid strips, the vast majority are dated within the first two years of the beginning of the strip... 1951 and 1952. There are a smattering of ones from later years, but not a lot.

This is the second of two dailies from my favorite story arc in those early stories. As the series began, Cisco met and had adventures with several beautiful ladies: Lucy the farmer's daughter; Red Flower, daughter of the Indian chief; Belle, the saloon singer and Boo-Boo, Pancho's fiance. In this sequence that ran during April to July 1952, Cisco is injured and all four of his amores come to nurse him to health with some comic results. In this daily from May 20, Cisco is sitting with Belle, Red Flower and Lucy to celebrate Boo-Boo and Pancho's engagement and offering to dance with every lady. As Cisco said, "I like the ladies.".

As Brett Blevins pointed out, it is amazing that Salinas "painted on" the shirt design on Cisco every time he appeared. What detail!!

Yup, almost every day for close to 20 years he constantly repainted the embroidered pattern on Cisco's shirt. Absolutely incredible!
