I've been a huge Frank King and "Gasoline Alley" fan for years. Never did I imagine that a "Bobby Make Believe" original existed, much less that I would have an opportunity to own one, so thanks to the Frank King estate and Russ Cochran for making a dream come true!
Large, partially hand-colored Sunday dated Oct. 1, 1915.
If anyone knows where I can buy the accompanying tear sheet, please let me know.
