DescriptionCHESTER GOULD “The Girl Friends” Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 8-4-1931 (Chicago Daily News, 1931).Chester Gould left his job at the Evening American, and moved to the Chicago Daily News, where he was back to advertising art, some editorial cartoons, and this strip, The Girl Friends. Gould's success as a humorous cartoonist came to an abrupt end in 1931, when he launched Dick Tracy as a hardboiled crimebuster feature. The Girl Friends marked Gould's last attempt at an overtly comical serial, although the artist would insinuate plenty of humor into Tracy as leavening for the prevailing violence. This comic strip appeared three months before first Dick Tracy strip debuted, and one prominent character, Miss Dobbs (see all panels), would evolve into Tess Trueheart, fiancée of detective Tracy!(see Additional Image). ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Chester Gould lasciò il suo lavoro all'Evening American e si trasferì al Chicago Daily News, dove tornò a lavorare per l'arte pubblicitaria, vignette editoriali e a questa striscia, THE GIRL FRIENDS. Il successo di Gould come fumettista umoristico terminò bruscamente nel 1931, quando lanciò il famoso fumetto del crimine Dick Tracy. The Girl Friends ha segnato l'ultimo tentativo di Gould di un serial apertamente comico, anche se l'artista avrebbe introdotto molto umorismo in D.Tracy come diversivo per la violenza dominante. Questa striscia è apparsa tre mesi prima del debutto di Dick Tracy e un personaggio di spicco, Miss Dobbs (la ragazza bionda in questa strip), si sarebbe evoluta in Tess Trueheart, la fidanzata del detective Tracy (vedi immagine aggiuntiva).

Non conoscevo questa strip e confesso che non avevo presente nemmeno il primissimo periodo di Dick Tracy. Davvero impressionante l'evoluzione dello stile di Gould. Complimenti per questo pezzo storico!

That's fabulous! The high society life of the time was a look into the lives of the wealthy most dreamed about during the Great Depression years.
