Description
Al Posen (1895-1965) was most well known for a couple of things. First, was his sweet comic strip Sweeney & Son, which ran as a Sunday page for 25 years. Second, was Posen's hotel room number, which happened to be 1506. That was the basis for Bill Holman's catch phrase, "1506 Nix Nix", which was a warning to the girls to stay away from Posen's room.

There's little reason why I should like Posen's work. As a cartoonist, he was fairly average. As a writer, he was fairly average. But I dunno, there's something about his work that strikes me. A sweetness. A gentle bit of humor. I'm not sure, but ever since I've been interested in old comic strips, I've been a sucker for Posen's work. I've owned this page for probably 20 years, but have just forgotten to scan it. It's a sweet Christmas strip from 12/23/51.
