Description
Frederick Opper (1857-1937), the creator of Happy Hooligan, had a long career as a magazine and newspaper cartoonist.
This is one daily strip, in an unusual square-size, of a production that Opper led on side by side with the regular stories of his Hooligan. These were strip sequences with running title like “The Cruise of the Piffle”, “Mr. Trusty”, and “The Freneasy Film Co. presents..” where he featured comic figures inspired by politicians, industry tycoons and various capitalists, that he caricatured in the oddest possible way.
PROHIBITION: The Prohibition era was the period from 1920 to 1933 when the United States prohibited the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. The alcohol industry was curtailed by a succession of state legislatures, and Prohibition was formally introduced nationwide under the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified on January 16, 1919. Prohibition ended with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment, which repealed the Eighteenth Amendment on December 5, 1933.
Size: 11,5x12 inches
Dated in 1921 and signed by F. Opper

It might have been the happiest of times with the roaring 20's making alcohol that much more profitable by being illegal!
