Description

Charles H. Winner (known as “Doc”) was an American comic artist who created the newspaper gag-a-day comic 'Tubby' (1923-1926), later remodeled and retitled as 'Elmer' (1926-1956). While the main character’s mother names him 'Chester', everyone else calls him 'Tubby'. Tubby was often depicted hanging out with his friends and a little dog. By the second series, the lead’s name becomes Elmer Tuggle, but the characters and gags otherwise stay pretty much the same.

In this Sunday strip, Elmer apparently is getting into a fight with another boy over who will take a girl to a party. When Elmer wins, the gag twist reveals the loser actually had to escort the girl to the party (obviously at the risk of cooties). Doc Winner has signed in the last panel.

Ahh, simpler days. These two remind me of the vultures from the animated Jungle Book.

And so my king died, and my brothers died, barely a year ago. Long I pondered my king's cryptic talk of victory. Time has proven him wise, for from free Greek to free Greek, the word was spread that bold Leonidas and his three hundred, so far from home, laid down their lives. Not just for Sparta, but for all Greece and the promise this country holds!

Truly, 300 men all fighting to save Sparta and to NOT take Queen Gorgo to the dance on Friday night. Cooties.
