WOW!!! What a great page to have and that detailed back story, love hearing about it!

I don't blame you Jeff, I wouldn't pass that one up either, congrats!

In the past couple of years I have become a huge Superman fan, and wow!!! This really knocks it out of the park! Great background story and acquisition, love it!

This was the first Rusty Riley I had ever owned, bought it in 1999. Many congrats!

Nice pick-up Tom, Congrats!

Very cool! Never heard of this artist before, thanks for sharing!

My favorite Pogo story line, fantastic daily!

That is a beautiful piece, definitely worth the price.

That was published in the Yachting Magazine, October 1941.  Titled "First Win."

Beautiful! How I loved this cover when I bought this off the spinner rack at Walgreens at the age of 12, great memories!

Very nice Pagan, I was once lucky enough to have this in my collection, glad to see it in yours!

Thanks for your comment, but the actual cover that was used in the newspapers was in color.  I had to use the b&w because that is the only one I could find.  Hopefully sometime in the future I can find the actual color tear sheet.

His "Rusty Riley" comic strip was awesome, but his illustrations were just fantastic! Congratulations!

Love this strip, great pickup.  Just wish they would do a hardback reprint of them.

Very nice, major congrats!

These are always a treat to see, congrats Tom!

Beautiful strip, congrats!

Great pick-up! Love the strip to begin with, now add this! WOW

Welcome to the Dan Smith Club!!! Hope you are enjoying the artwork!

That is a real beauty! Congrats!

Great strip! Just recently became a fan of his, looking for original artwork by him as well.

Beautiful work as always!  He was one of the best in the newspapers!

I couldn't agree more, every artwork of his I want to frame it and put it on the wall!

What an awesome pick-up! Just recently became aware of his work...congrats!

I love this strip, hated to let it go...but it looks good in your collection! 

Looks absolutely gorgeous! So glad I could help you out, they look great!

I'm a little late to the party,,,,but CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now that's museum quaility! 

I was always a big fan of Tammananny tiger! Nice daily!

Great daily, I would buy it just for the lettering!

Love early Frank King art!, Congrats!

What a great image of Barney Google, great pickup Rob!

Great daily, I find myself more and more attracted to this type of cartooning.

Hard to believe it has been 17 years when I had this one.  I had 423-425 all in one frame on my wall!  I had most of the boards for "Problem Child" but there were a lot missing, and I have not seen any of those turn up.  I'm glad it has found a good home!

Very nice John! I agree totally, Raboy was the perfect choice for Flash Gordon.

I love his Christmas Cards, these are really great!

A wonderful daily that found a good home!

Love his bird-eye views! This is awesome!

A wonderful example, what one would expect nevertheless in Jeff's gallery!

Great pick-up! That last panel is worth the full price of admission!

Two beautiful strips! I always thought Al McWilliams was always seriously underrated.  And yes, his inking style does remind of Alex Raymond, congrats on this striking pair od strips!

Many congrats on this acquisition! Jack was the first person I ever contacted when I got into this hobby.  We never talked, but communicated via email many times.  He was the one who intruduced me to Alex Raymond's Rip Kirby.  He definitely loved his Krazy Kats and was sending pictures of his Rips, Cisco Kid, and of course his Kats!  It was a sad ending to Jack, but I'm sure he woud be happy where this particular piece ended up at.

Great strip, it is from 1936

I have become a recent fan of his work, love this example!

Thanks for posting this Rob! I just recently "discovered" this strip and love the Harold Gray influence!

I am always happy to part with artwork that other colletors really appreciate such as you! It is nice to know it found a good home, enjoy!

That's a humdinger!

Great gag, that's a nice one Jeff!

Beautiful work, I always look forward to your updates to your gallery!

Very nice! 

I am becoming more and more a fan of the early strips, this is a prime example what I love. Congrats!

I love all the detail Salinas put into his shirt, such a good artist!
