Description
Fred Meagher Buffalo Bill daily comic strip dated 9-7-55 (United Features Syndicate, 1955). The fort is under attack and the cavalry is hemmed in by fire and smoke. Two vertical creases between the panels of this large strip (image area 24.5 by 7 in.) is likely where Meagher folded the strip to mail it to its first owner.

Cartoonist Harry O’Neil's longest running series was "Broncho Bill", originally titled "Young Buffalo Bill" and distributed by United Features Syndicate. Broncho Bill debuted June 7, 1927. O’Neill’s last strip appeared July 8, 1950. Fred Meagher drew six more strips from July 10 to 15, 1950. O'Neill's titular hero, Broncho, was apparently also then retired and the title shifted to "Buffalo Bill" and continued by Meagher until 1956.

That's precisely why those folds are there. But you neglected to mention how GIGANTIC this daily is!

When I say give me love well don't be Meagher
Gee can't you see that Bill's over eager
Oh daily oh daily obey me

And when my rusty arms need an oil up
Well get in my art and keep them Billed up
Oh daily cavalry obey me

First attack and I'm mad about your smoke traps
So relax there's only artwork from Fred
My love just lives for you now obey me
I want you for my one calvary
Oh daily oh baby obey me too

Never understimate what kind of cuts you can get while polishin' some boots! When other kids wanted to play Cowboys & Indians I would just say, well I'm already Indian - I don't need to play...I wouldn't have noticed the creased folds without you pointing them out, pretty interesting part of the provenance and history of the strip art!

I'm loving all the vintage strips you've been posting lately and this is a great one! I dig 1950s western art!
