Description

Mickey Finn by Lank Leonard - (McNaught Syndicate) Daily, November 7, 1941 or 1947 (Golden-Age)
Nice four-panel early example of the comic strip Mickey Finn by Frank E. "Lank" Leonard. Mickey Finn debuted on Monday, April 6, 1936 and early examples of the strip typically do not reveal the year of publication. However, there are several tell-tale signs to date the strip in question. Mr. Leonard almost always indicated the day of the week in which the strip would see print (in pencil and normally in the upper right hand corner of the work). The"day of the week" on this particular example is clearly visible and reads... "Friday Nov. 7". Another indication of the age of this strip is it's overall size. Early Mickey Finn comic strips (mid-1940's and earlier) were rendered in a larger size. Using this information, there are only two calendar years in which November the 7th fell on a Friday, and qualify as a possible year of publication.... 1941 and 1947. I believe the date of this strip to be November the 7th, 1941. Originally part of the Charles Martignette collection sold through Heritage Art Auctions.
