Description
This Gasoline Alley daily comes from 1922. I'll figure out the date when I reference the Drawn and Quarterly Gasoline Alley book that came out a couple of months ago. In this daily, it seems that Frank King was channeling 80 years into the future and spiriting Chris Ware. The pacing in between panels is so similar to Ware's ACME that it isn't hard to understand the impact GA has had on Ware's work. This particular daily was given away as a Christmas present to friends in 1959. Trimmed close to the edge of the art in order to fit into a small mailing tube. When I got the art, it came with the mailing tube and a note attached from Frank King saying, "Thought perhaps you'd like to take a backward peep down Gasoline Alley. Greetings!" I purchased it on EBay in the winter of 2005.
